EMG, electromyography; NSC, nerve conduction studies.

Chi-squared analysis was used to analyze difference between rates.

Different superscript symbols and bolded values indicate statistically significant difference (P < .05):

^∗

Significantly different from specialties marked with † and ‡.

^†

Significantly different from specialties marked with ∗ and ‡.

^‡

Significantly different from specialties marked with ∗ and †.
