#
The P-value is for Kruskal-Wallis test;
*
The P-value is for One-way ANOVA test.
a, b, c
on means refer to significant difference between means when K-W or One-way ANOVA test refers to significance by multiple comparison analysis (bc, non-significant; ab, ac, significant).
d
Chi-square test.
e
Data shown mean ± standard deviation and median (min–max).
