Agr classes Group 1, n = 50 Group 2, n = 40 p-value for difference between groups 1 and 2
I 12 (24 %) 8 (20 %) p = 0.6513
II 5 (10 %) 3 (7.5 %) p = 0.6798
III 4 (8 %) 3 (7.5 %) p = 0.8588
IV 29 (58 %)* 26 (65 %)* p = 0.5003

*Difference in the frequency of manifestation, as compared to Agr classes I, II and III, at the level of p < 0.001
