"Patient ages were broken up into 10-year blocks for comparison. There were 257 (40%) patients aged 18-29 years, 84 (13.1%) aged 30-39 years, 113 (17.6%) aged 40-49, 110 (17.1%) aged 50-59 years, and 79 (12.3%) aged 60 or greater. Comparing patients who had reoperation with those that did not, there were significantly fewer reoperations for the 18-29 year old group compared with the other 4 groups.
I've attached an Excel file with the data in chart format.
The UCSF paper doesn't have the data broken down by age, but the average age was 49 years.
