Of gender-affirming surgical procedures identified among adults and minors, 1591 of 2664 (59.7%) and 82 of 85 (96.4%) were chest-related procedures, respectively. Of the 636 breast reductions among cisgender male and TGD adults, 507 (80%) were performed on cisgender males. Of the 151 breast reductions among cisgender male minors and TGD minors, 146 (97%) were performed on cisgender male minors (Figure 2).
It doesn’t seem to break it down quite how I’d like, but the 97% and matching 3% are specifically about breast reductions.
The things I don’t understand are the 85 and 151. What are the differences between those numbers? They both seem to refer to total procedures on minors.
Of gender-affirming surgical procedures identified among adults and minors, 1591 of 2664 (59.7%) and 82 of 85 (96.4%) were chest-related procedures, respectively.
This first part parses to me as “Of gender-affirming surgical procedures identified, 1591 of 2664 adult surgeries (59.7%) and 82 of 85 minor child surgeries (96.4%) were chest-related procedures, respectively.” However, the next sentence doesn’t seem to line up with that notion…
Of the 636 breast reductions among men, 507 (80%) were performed on cisgender men. Of the 151 breast reductions among boys, 146 (97%) were performed on cisgender boys (Figure 2).
To make this section easier to read, I replaced some words and phrases while hopefully keeping the meaning intact.
I kind of feel like this quote is referencing two different data sets, and is missing a segue. The numbers don’t seem to line up with each other any way I poke at them.

I think the 85 must be a reduced fraction, but that feels weird to do in a scientific paper.
