Statistical analysis into group A and group B and between the group A and group B

Variables	Group A (n = 65) median (IQR)	Group B (n = 60) median (IQR)	Group A vs. group B
(1) DFI TOT (%)	9.74 (5.17–11.76)	22.21 (17.73–30.57)	p < 0.0001*, (rN)
(2) DFI NORM (%)	1 (0.0–4.0)	8.0 (3.0–14.5)	p < 0.0001*, (rN)
(3) DFI ANORM (%)	21 (13.0–29.0)	48 (36.5–62.0)	p < 0.0001*, (rN)
Statistical analysis into groups	p < 0.0001*, (1) > (2)*, (1) < (3)*, (2) < (3)*, (DB)	p < 0.0001*, (1) > (2)*, (1) < (3)*, (2) < (3)*, (DB)
