Statistical Analysis
RECURRENCES, REGRESSION, RECURRENCE
Statistical comparisons were performed according to the intention-to-treat principle. The baseline characteristics, MSTS score, and recurrence size were compared between the groups with the use of Mann-Whitney U tests. Chi-square or Fisher exact tests were used for comparisons of categorical variables. Kaplan-Meier survival estimates were used to compare the timing of recurrences between the study groups. Log-rank tests were used to compare the survival curves of the study groups. Multivariable analysis was performed using logistic regression. Significance was set at p = 0.05, and tests were 2-tailed. Analyses were performed with use of JMP Pro (version 16.1.0 for Windows; SAS Institute).
