  1. Continuous variables were expressed as median (interquartile range [IQR]) or means ± standard deviation (SD). Categorical variables were described as number (%). P-values were calculated using t-test or Mann–Whitney U test for continuous variables, and chi-squared test for categorical variables. A P-value < 0.05 was considered statistically significant
