  1. Values reported as median [quartiles]. The median difference (reported with 95% confidence intervals) is the median of all pairwise differences between observations in the 2 groups.
  2. Wilcoxon rank-sum test was used to compare distributions of outcome measures. Quality of recovery; items 1–10 preceded by question “How have you been feeling in the past 24 h?” and evaluated using rating scale 0–10, where 0 = none of the time (poor) and 10 = all of the time (excellent). Items 11–15 preceded by question “Have you had any of the following in the past 24 h?” and evaluated using rating scale 10–0, where: 10 = none of the time (excellent) and 0 = all of the time (poor). The sum of the individual domains generates an aggregate (or global) score with the maximum score (best recovery) obtained being 150.
