Thirteen patients with no known phenotype at diagnosis, of whom one female died due to pulmonary cause, were excluded from analysis in the age (<40 years and ⩾40 years), disease location, and disease behaviour at diagnosis categories. Three patients died due to other causes than listed (two infectious and one unknown).
