Statistical Analysis
Continuous variables were expressed as Mean ± standard deviation, and
categorical variables were expressed as cases or percentage. In
univariate analysis, if continuous variables conform to normal
distribution, the T-test or one-way analysis of variance will be used
for data analysis; if not, the rank sum test will be used for data
analysis; when independent variables are in two groups, the Mann-Whitney
U test will be used for analysis; when independent variables are in more
than two groups, the Kruskal-Wallis test will be used for analysis.
Spearman correlation analysis was used for the correlation between rank
variables or data that did not conform to normal distribution.
P<0.05 was considered to be statistically significant. SPSS
26.0 statistical software was used for statistical analysis of all data,
and GraphPad Prism 9.0 and Excel
were used for plotting.
