| AVG (SD) | 15.83 (6.6) | 55.00 (8.0) |
AVG (SD): average number of times a mold was reactive in each group (standard deviation).
A (2010): Group A, including tests performed in or before 2010.
B (2015): Group B, including tests performed in 2014 and 2015.
All results are also percentages (100 patients in each group), so each number represents how many times that mold was reactive in 100 tests.
