ICD-9 codes with low frequency achieve significance after aggregation. Orange nodes represent periodontitis patients and blue nodes represent control patients. Unique ICD-9 codes may be too infrequent (<5 patients each) to achieve significance at the individual code level (see a) but at the category level (see b) the frequency is sufficient (>5 patients) to determine the presence of an association.
