  1. Results are expressed as mean ± SD or n (%). Group comparisons were performed using one-way ANOVA followed by post hoc LSD-t tests or the Kruskal-Wallis test followed by post hoc Mann-Whitney U tests for continuous variables and the chi-square test for categorical variables. *P < 0.05 compared to the NCAS group.
