Statistical Analysis
SPSS version 25.0 software was used for statistical analysis and all results are expressed as median and interquartile range (IQR). The coefficient of skewness and the Shapiro-Wilk test were used to evaluate normal distribution of data. Group comparisons were made by Mann-Whitney test. The chi-square test or Fisher’s exact test, as appropriate, were used to compare categorical variables. Pearson product-moment correlation coefficient or Spearman’s rank correlation coefficient, as appropriate, were used to test for an association between numerical variables. P -values < 0.05 were considered significant.Results
