BMI = body mass index; BMI = weight (kg)/height (m²), cm = centimeter; kg = kilogram; N = number of subjects in the specified treatment group; Max = maximum; Min = minimum; n = number of subjects in the specified category; SD = standard deviation; NE = not estimable. The percentages were based on number of subjects in the specified treatment group. For continuous variables, the p-value was calculated by using one-way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) and for categorical variables, the p-value was calculated by using the Chi square test.
