HADS-A – Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale – Anxiety.

^*Compared with under 40, p < 0.05 means statistically significant, indicating that age, smoking and underlying diseases are related to anxiety scores. t/F – coefficient of variation; the larger the value, the better the treatment effect and the higher the accuracy.
