Values are means (standard deviation) for continuous variables and frequencies (percentages) for categorical variables. P-values are from t-tests and Fisher’s Exact tests, respectively. Due to some slight non-linearity, t-test results were verified with Wilcoxon rank-sum tests. Courses of steroids is given with median (IQR).
