  1. ‡ The p value indicated the significance of heterogeneity of high post-DT prevalence between music group and no-music group by chi-square test and stratified by the level of pre-DT. The Cochran-Mantel-Haenszel Statistics was performed, the Cochran Q was 9.87 and p = 0.0072, the result indicated the marginal prevalence (78.6%-42.4%=36.2%) of post-DT ≥ 4 between groups in patients had pre DT ≥ 4 was significantly different from (22.7%-0.0%=22.7%) in the patients had pre DT < 4
