Continuous values were analyzed by linear mixed model with Bonferroni post hoc analysis. Noncontinuous values were analyzed by generalized linear mixed model analysis with Bonferroni post hoc analysis. The investigative point of preoperation in Cohort III was the same point as the baseline (P < 0.001, P < 0.01, P < 0.05).
