a Color coding of cells: At least 25% (blue), >33.3% (green), and >50% (orange) of patients received nonzero ratings. Results from patients with CADSS items rated as severe are not shown, owing to the small sample size (n = 5). CADSS items are rated on a scale from 0 (not at all) to 4 (severe); listed mean severity scores are the means of these values.
