  1. The analyses were performed with a linear mixed regression model based on 10,000 bootstrap samples adjusted for age, sex, point of time, and type of surgery and are given as estimated marginal means, evaluated at the means of the covariates, with 95% confidence intervals (percentiles) and p-values. Statistically significant p-values in bold text.
