Fisher's exact test was used for variables where at least one cell had an expected frequency of five or less, which violates the assumption of the chi‐square test. Fisher's exact test has no such assumption and thus was used as the appropriate test for these cases. Fisher's exact test does not have a test statistic and only yields the P‐value.
