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.
