Table 1.
Distribution of gender and age in the study population. Gender is presented as frequency in percent (%), and age is presented as mean ± standard deviation in years. For testing the statistical differences between groups, we used the chi-squared test (gender) and Kruskall-Wallis nonparametric test (age).
