Proportions were compared on AS-20 and VFQ-25 composite scores and also between successes, partial successes and failures.

a

P≤0.01 significant difference between success and failure

b

P=0.04 significant difference between success and partial success

c

P=0.01 significant difference between partial success and failure

d

P=0.005 significant difference between AS-20 and VFQ-25 composite scores.
