Statistical analyses were performed using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) version 29.0 for Windows. Fisher’s exact test was used for comparison of qualitative variables. The pair t test, the one-way ANOVA, and the Kruskal–Wallis test (KW) were used for comparison of quantitative variables, after testing for normal distribution through the Kolmogorov–Smirnov test. The level of significance was set at p < 0.05.
