Total number of patients shown is smaller than the number of corresponding patients because of overlap of geographic coordinates for some patients. For details, see Materials and Methods. p = 0.00005, for data analyzed by using the Cuzick and Edwards test in Clusterseer version 2.2.4 (Terraseer Inc., Ann Arbor, MI, USA). The yellow mark indicates the health post.
