	0–12 M (n = 162) (Mean ± SD Median Q1–Q3)	48–60 M (n = 127) (Mean ± SD Median Q1–Q3)	p Value *
MAT (n = 121)	2.0 ± 3.2, 1 (0–2)	2.3 ± 3.1, 1 (0–3)	0.060
MA Formation Rate (n = 121)	1.0 ± 1.7, 0 (0–1)	0.8 ± 1.6, 0 (0–1)	0.089
MA Disappearance Rate (n = 121)	1. 0 ± 2.0, 0 (0–1)	1.5 ± 1.9, 1(0–2)	<0.001
