Table 5.

Comparison of patients with potentially needed and performed genetic testing between the inflammatory and the non-inflammatory groups shown for age categories. Percentages of patients with potential need and performed genetic testing refer to the total cohort, whereas percentages of inflammatory and non-inflammatory groups refer to the number of patients with potential need or performed genetic testing, respectively. Differences between groups (excluding age groups ‘10 age < 20’ and ‘90 age < 100’) are tested using the chi-square test, with significance indicated by p < 0.05. After Bonferroni adjustment for multiple testing, results are shown with a local significance value of 0.003.
