  1. P values <0.05 in bold indicate that the difference between infected and uninfected patients is statistically significant
  2. *The difference between infected patients and uninfected patients was statistically significant (P Vaule < 0.05); #, There was no bleeding in the whole process of RF-TC, only one case had local adhesion after thermocoagulation, and a small amount of bleeding occurred during the removal of the electrode; NA, not applicable
