Data are presented as Pearson's correlation coefficients: ^a P < 0.05 and ^b P < 0.0001. NPRR data were log transformed for the statistical analysis. After adjustment for multiple comparisons with step‐down Bonferroni correction (BC), the correlations for NPRC were not significant but did not change significantly for NPRR (viz., NPRR P‐values vs. NPRR P‐values after BC).
