Statistical analysis
The results obtained were statistically analyzed using GraphPad
InStat version 3.00. Statistical tests performed were student’s
unpaired t-test and Mann-Whitney U-test (for Gestational age,
because of the non normal distribution of its data). Correlations
between the variables were estimated by Pearson’s correlation
coefficients. Fisher’s-exact test was performed wherever applicable.
The results were considered significant when the p-value was less
than 0.05.
