Note: Kruskal–Wallis test was used to compare continuous variables, as the data were non‐normally distributed (Shapiro–Wilk test p < 0.001). The Χ 2 test for equality of proportions with continuity correction was used to compare sex variables. All p‐values were adjusted using Bonferroni correction and set to p < 0.05.
