, , and . For severity classes: 1, mild; 2, moderate; and 3, severe. The sample sizes for each class were 25, 81, and 33, respectively. and . Number of patients for age classes 1 (≤40 years old) and 2 (>40 years old) were 87 and 52, respectively. Prevalence is the percentage (%) of subjects showing the symptom in the relevant data subset. Cl95 are the 95% confidence limits. For further details, see text.
