  1. Data were expressed as mean ± standard deviation (SD), median [interquartile range]. The continuous variables were compared by using the Student’s t-test and the Mann-Whitney U test, the categorical variables were compared by using the χ2 or Fisher’s exact test between discovery and validation groups. P:statistical difference within each group, P1: PTC and HP, P2: TN and HP, P3: PTC and TN
  2. * represents significant differences (p < 0.05)
