Statistical Analysis
The data obtained from the study were evaluated using the SPSS
(Statistical Package for Social Sciences) version 23.0 program. The
Shapiro-Wilk test was used to check the normal distribution of the data.
Parametric tests were used for normally distributed data, and
non-parametric tests were used for non-normally distributed data. The
results were expressed as mean ± standard deviation (SD). The
statistical significance level was considered as p<0.05.
One-way ANOVA followed by Tukey’s post-hoc test was used for multiple
comparisons, and the Kruskal-Wallis test followed by Dunn’s post-hoc
test was used for non-parametric tests. The correlation between the
variables was evaluated by Pearson’s or Spearman’s correlation test,
depending on the distribution of the data. The statistical significance
level was considered as p<0.05.
