  1. Continuous variables are shown in the format mean ± standard deviation, and independent t-test was performed to assess the difference in their distributions. Numbers in parentheses indicate the proportion of corresponding category, and the distribution of categorical variables are compared with chi-square test. P-values less than 0.05 indicate statistical significance and are marked with an asterisk (*).
