The mean standard deviation was calculated for all the parameters in both the groups and P was kept as < 0.05 as significant and < 0.001 as highly significant RESULTS The mean age and gender-wise distribution of both the groups were depicted as demographic data where the significant difference ( P = 0.022) was obtained regarding age and values were nonsignificant ( P = 0.654) regarding gender in both the groups [ Table 1 ].
