Superscript letters a, b, c denote values of different statistical significance
  2. *Results are presented as mean (SD) or as median [IQR] according to data distribution. Tests employed are one way ANOVA and Kruskal – Wallis test, respectively. For qualitative data Fisher’s exact test was applied. Tests employed are paired t test or Mann–Whitney U test, respectively
