Pain scores during follow-up period for both groups expressed as mean ± SD. “*” Significant difference in Group II vs. Group I. Missing data in calculation of mean because of patient deaths are compensated for by using the last reported data value. Therefore, 54 and 55 patients were used at all times of assessment in each group, respectively.
