Descriptive statistics were used for all parameters. Results are expressed as means ± standard deviation and ranges for continuous variables and numbers and percentages for categorical variables. Values recorded for the 6-point Likert-scale (1: very satisfied and 6: very dissatisfied) were converted into a 10-point visual analogue scale (VAS) (0: very dissatisfied and 10: very satisfied) by linear transformation. All data were analyzed using the IBM SPSS Statistics 24 software.
