To determine the value of P, the Student’s criterion was used (in groups of continuous data with a normal distribution of the trait; described as mean +/-SD;), chi-square criterion (in groups of nominal data; described as n (%)), nonparametric Mann-Whitney U-criterion (in groups of continuous data with a distribution of different from normal; denoted as median and 25–75 quartiles.)
