*P value analyzed by the χ ² test. Note: Odds ratios (OR) and χ ² tests were performed with groups that bear the same number in superscript; the respective odds ratio, 95 % confidence interval (CI), and P-value for each comparison has the same number in superscript. No statistically significant differences were found
