a
Frequency number and percentage of column sum (%).
b
Chi-squared test compared the difference across 3-class groups and performed post hoc pairwise comparisons between each two latent groups.
c
One-way ANOVA tested the difference across the 3-class groups, and 2-sample t-tests with Bonferroni performed post hoc pairwise comparisons between each two latent groups.
LAVH, Laparoscopically assisted vaginal hysterectomy; NA, number of missing values; SD, standard deviation.
