Reported CZS cases are those that meet predefined international diagnostic criteria based on clinical symptoms. Current evidence suggests that these symptoms will persist throughout life; therefore, all of the CZS patients included in this analysis are assumed to have some degree of chronic or permanent disability [28,58,62].
