For normally distributed parameters, the mean was showed ±SD, and p values were calculated using a student’s t-test and for not normally distributed parameters, the median with IQR (P25，P75) was showed, and the p value was calculated using Mann-Whitney U test. Categorical variables are represented by counts, and p value was calculated using Chi-square test
