*N indicates the total number of patients before surgery in each group
**(n/n) indicates the number of patients at each follow-up time point in the PFC Sigma and ATTUNE groups, respectively
Student’s unpaired t-test was used to compare differences in each outcome between the PFC Sigma and ATTUNE systems at each follow-up time point
A p-value< 0.05 indicates statistical significance
