*

There were no participants assigned with the ICD-9-CM codes: 743.8 744.0, and 744.21 either at UNC or SCH.

**

Numbers do not add up to the totals because all possible two CFM-codes are shown, ie, if an individual had 3 codes assigned there are three possible pairwise combinations, so that individual is listed three times.
