Notes:

Fisher exact test (categorical variables) and Wilcoxon signed-rank test (continuous variables) were performed to compare the observed data with the expected data under the null hypothesis (equal ratios of subjects in each category for categorical variables and change equal to zero for continuous variables). Those that do not share superscripts (a and b) are significantly different in pairwise comparisons with false discovery rate (FDR) adjustment.

Data not available for 4 subjects.
