In such instances, the number of male cases also tends to be small or zero, but if the number of male clients exceeds 5 units, then a specific note is presented. Ratios equal to zero correspond to instances where no male cases have been reported while female cases have been reported. In such instances, the number of female cases tends also to be small, but if the number of female client exceeds 5 units, then a specific note is presented.
