Table 2 legend: §patients with complete neurocognitive data including patients of ethnicity other than Caucasian or Black (n = 20); IQR  =  interquartile range, SD  =  standard deviation; Excludes all patients of ethnicity other than Caucasian and Black, as well as 30 subjects of Black ethnicity who fell outside the age range covered by the adjusted normative data; NPZ-5 results using standard normative data in these 30 patients were similar to those of the other 126 patients. Data are number (%) or median (interquartile range).
