OCD/tic/PANDAS symptomology based on time of surgery.

Neuropsychiatric Symptom Pre-surgery onset Post-surgery onset

Total N 10 22
Elevated titers, N (%) 8 (80.0) 18 (81.8)

PANDAS N 6 13
Elevated titers, N (%) 6 (100.0) 11 (84.6)

OCD N (%) 6 25
Elevated titers, N (%) 4 (66.7) 21 (84.0)
Mean age at onset (yrs) 4.6 ± 1.5 6.4 ± 2.2
Mean CYBOCS score 19.90 16.50
Mean age at surgery (yrs) 7.4 ± 3.7 4.1 ± 1.7
Mean onset to surgery duration (yrs) −2.8 ± 3.2 2.4 ± 1.9

Tics N (%) 8 22
Elevated titers, N (%) 7 (87.5) 17 (77.3)
Mean age at onset (yrs) 3.6 ± 2.0 6.7 ± 1.9
Mean YGTSS score 39.00 27.35
Mean age at surgery (yrs) 6.6 ± 3.7 3.9 ± 1.7
Mean onset to surgery duration (yrs) −3.0 ± 3.7 2.9 ± 2.1

Of the 36 participants in the surgery group, age at surgery was not available for 4 youth; titers were not available for one youth. Mean onset to surgery duration was taken as the difference between the time of initial neuropsychiatric symptom onset/diagnosis (i.e., OCD or tics) to the time of first surgical procedure.
