- ‡p < = 0.001; †p < = 0.0001
- For each practitioner listed, statistical comparisons were made between the individuals reported to have seizures and the individuals reported not to have seizures (control group). Superscript after the seizure percentage indicates whether the proportions are different between the two groups. There are 9 practitioners resulting in 9 comparisons. The Bonferroni correction results in an alpha of 0.05/9 = 0.0056, so we have set the alpha to p < = 0.001 to be conservative.
