  1. Note: -, no data; *, Fisher’s exact test. The t-test was used to compare all continuous variables and the results were presented in mean (± SD). The χ2 test or Fisher’s exact test was used to compare the categorical variables and the results were presented as frequency and percentage (%). Only variables significant at p < 0.05 were entered into univariate conditional logistic regression
