Statistical analysis
Data was analyzed using the SPSS statistical software version 25.0 (SPSS Inc., Cary, NC, USA). Data distribution was analyzed using Shapiro-Wilk Test to determine whether the data had a normal distribution. For the analysis of continuous data, Student’s t-test was used for normally distributed variables and Kruskal-Wallis for non-parametric variables. Chi-Square or Fisher’s test were utilized for analysis of categorical variables. A two-sided p value <0.05 was considered statistically significant. All presented means are accompanied by their respective standard deviations.
