DUP is defined here as time elapsed from onset of symptoms till beginning of treatment in weeks. The distribution of this sample was skewed because of two outliers with extremely long DUPs with onset of symptoms before the age of 16. Therefore, the Median is reported as it represents a more accurate measure of central tendency than the mean DUP. Data is missing for two participants.
