The estimates are expressed as mean with the standard deviation (SD) in parentheses or proportions with the absolute numbers between parentheses. The p values for the categorical and binary variables were calculated using Pearson’s chi-squared test. P values for the continuous variables were calculated using the two-sample t-test
