Notes: The table shows the class size, expected number of symptoms, and symptom probability given the classes. Numbers in bold indicate a symptom probability of >0.30. The profiles are sorted according to the number of expected symptoms. The model includes a direct effect between dizziness and nausea. GS includes headache, tiredness, and sleeplessness. N=36,163.

Abbreviations: CP, cardiopulmonary; GI, gastrointestinal; GS, general symptoms; LCA, latent class analysis; MS, musculoskeletal.
