  1. A two-sided test was applied to all tests of statistical significance. No statistical difference (P > 0.05) found for all variables tested. Variables were tested using Fisher’s exact test except for ** (Wilcoxon-rank sum test used) and ^ (Independent T-test used). Source data are provided as a Source Data file.
