Data expressed as mean ± SD for quantitative variables following normal distribution, qualitative variables are expressed as n (%). Differences between quantitative variables were assessed by Student’s t test or the Mann–Whitney U test, as required. Differences between qualitative variables were assessed by the Chi-square test
