Values expressed as mean ± SD and median (IQR). Two-tailed Student’s t test for independent samples. Wilcoxson Rank-sum test. *Significant at P<0.05. ** Significant at P<0.01. *** Significant at P<0.001. Cohen’s d statistic (normal distributions), except as indicated. Cliff’s δ (non-normal distributions). Values of d of 0.20, 0.50 and 0.80 denote small, medium and large differences. Values of δ are considered small around 0.15, medium around 0.33, and large around 0.47.
