  1. Values are percentages for categorical variables, means (SD) for continuous variables with a normal distribution, or medians (90% range) for continuous variables with a skewed distribution. Differences in baseline characteristics were tested using Student’s t test, ANOVA, Kruskal-Wallis, and chi-square tests. Presented values are not imputed
