Data analysis
Descriptive statistics for demographics were analyzed using the Mann-Whitney U test to determine any baseline differences. Between-group comparisons from the QPP were performed with the Mann-Whitney U test; median values were also reported. The significance level was set at p < 0.05. All the collected data were transferred and analyzed by the first author (LG) using IBM SPSS version 28 (IBM, Corp, Armonk, NY, USA).
