Values are n (%) or mean±SD, unless otherwise stated. Comparison of clinical profiles was performed using one-way analysis of variance for continuous variables and Pearson’s χ2 test for categorical variables.
*Values are medians (Q1–Q3). Comparison was done using Kruskal-Wallis test.
†Comparison was performed using exact χ2 test.
