SD: Standard deviation; CI: Confidence interval; MoCA: Montreal cognitive assessment; GOAT: Galveston orientation and amnesia test; Repeated Measure ANOVA was used for within-group and between-group analyses, and interaction effect and independent sample t-test were used for between-group analysis at baseline; ANCOVA was used for analysis at two and four weeks; * Level of significance (p-value) measured through Repeated Measure ANOVA was set at <0.05; # Significance level for time*group interaction by ANOVA was set at <0.05; ‡ Level of significance by ANCOVA at two and four weeks was set at <0.05. |
