  1. aTwo-sided p-value for numerical values were determined using unpaired multiple T-test
  2. bTwo-sided p-value for categories were calculated using Chi-square test and Fisher’s exact test. Data are presented as the mean ± standard deviation or number (%)
  3. P value < 0.05 are indicated as significant
