  1. Data expressed as number (%), mean ± standard deviation for normally distributed data or median [interquartile range] for non-normally distributed data. Analyses by, Fisher’s exact test for 2 × 2 categorical datasets. Chi square test for larger than 2 × 2 categorical datasets and Mann-Whitney U test for non-parametric data (assessed by Kolmogorov-Smirnov test) or ordinal 2-sided analyses P < 0.05 for all variables
  2. aRecategorization of Likert’s scale responses, “agree” includes strongly agree or agree, “do not agree” includes neither agree or disagree, disagree or strongly disagree
