- Chi-square tests were performed, female patients tended to report more problems in three dimensions, including Anxiety/Depression, Pain/Discomfort and Mobility, when comparing to male patients (all P values < 0.005).
- * The percentages of "Total" group were estimated based on the reported findings for males and females with considering each group's sample size.
