STATISTICAL ANALYSIS
The data were collected using REDCap.[15] Descriptive statistics
reported are count and percentage for categorical variables and median
and range for continuous variables. Kruskal-Wallis test and Fisher’s
exact test are used to identify variables, categorical and continuous
respectively, that are associated with treatment group in cases.
Wilcoxon rank sum test is used to identify pairwise differences for
continuous variables. McNemar and Wilcoxon signed-rank test are used to
compare variables, categorical and continuous respectively, in the cases
and controls. P-values are two-sided, and p-values <0.05 are
considered statistically significant. No adjustments were made for
multiple comparisons.
