2.2 Statistical analysis
Statistical analyses were performed using Jamovi Statistics (version
1.2.27solid) software. Shapiro-Wilk test, histograms, and Q/Q plots were
used to identify the distribution patterns. Nominal variables were
presented as number and percentage, normally distributed continuous
variables as mean and standard deviation, and non-normally distributed
continuous variables, as median and interquartile range. In addition to
descriptive statistics, Chi-Square test was used for nominal values in
the comparison of groups, Independent Samples t-test, for comparison of
parametric data, and Mann-Whitney U test, for comparison of
nonparametric data. Significant factors in univariate analysis were
carried onto multivariate logistic regression analysis. P value
<0.05 was considered statistically significant.
