Table 3.

Comparison of typical symptom scores, differential symptom scores, QoL item scores and domain scores between a) AC-positive patients (n = 38) versus AC-negative patients (N = 21); B) AC-positive patients (n = 38) versus reference group (n = 70); C) AC-negative patients (n = 21) versus reference group (n = 70). AC diagnosis according to GP guideline; differences statistically significant if P < 0.05
