The mid group displayed a weaker preference for skin health than any other group.
However, the number of distal anastomosis (low group 3.2±0.9, mid group 3.2±0.8 and high group 3.1±0.8, p=0.52) and length of the operation in minutes (low group 229.4±41.3, mid group 235.6±46.3 and high group 232.3±42.8, p=0.21) were not significantly different among groups.
The results of subsequent Tukey tests (Table 3) demonstrated that: The preference for youthful appearance was stronger in the girls group than in the preg and mid groups, and also stronger in the adult than in the mid group.
By definition, the group high had a cystatin C level of >1.13 mg/L, and the group's preoperative average creatinine level was 1.4±0.8 mmol/L (low group: 0.9±0.2 and mid group: 1.0±0.2; F value=139, p<0.001).
In order to verify this possibility, the mid group was divided into two age groups: up to 52 years old (N = 18) and more than 52 years old (N = 19).
The overall survival rates at 1, 3 and 5 years were 99%, 98% and 97% in the low group, 98%, 97% and 97% in the mid group, and 94%, 86% and 86% in the high group log-rank test, low vs high group, p<0.001, respectively, using the Kaplan Meier method.
