The sentences
Specifically, the median percentage increase in CSAa from T 1 to T 4 was higher in the mask ventilation group (Group M: 13.24%, IQR 3.64–33.48%) than in the THRIVE group (Group T: 7.62%, IQR 2.55–18.55%; P = 0.070), although the difference in CSAa did not reach statistical significance.
