  1. Using generalized estimating equations (GEE), we introduced the terms of age at surgery and sex to control for their confounding effects, as well as the correlations among three points of time. Values under PAO and PAO + FO are the regression coefficients for dummy variables, which are the adjusted difference between each pair. Post-op alone refers to post-operative measurements at the final follow-up
