^aP < 0.05 vs cohort 2 and 3 combined.

^bNo statistically significant difference versus any other cohort.

^cP < 0.05 vs cohort 1.

^dP < 0.05 vs cohort 2.

^eP < 0.05 vs cohort 3.

¹None of the patients were aged < 21 or > 80 yr.

P values are shown where there is a statistically significant difference between specified cohorts. Bonferroni adjustment was applied when comparing more than 2 groups at P < 0.05.
