  1. Characteristics are presented as means and standard deviations (SD) for normally distributed variables, median and interquartile ranges [IQR] for non-normally distributed variables, or percentages for dichotomous variables. Categorical variables were compared by chi-square tests. Variables with normal distribution were compared using t-test, while variables with skewed distribution were compared using Mann-Whitney.
