  1. aData are presented as the mean ± standard deviation. p-Value was calculated by the Mann–Whitney U test. Adjusted p-value was assessed by the multivariate logistic regression (forward likelihood ratio method) regarding age, sex, joint, diabetes mellitus, and hypertension. p < 0.05 indicates a significant difference between groups
