1Average change score = average score change from baseline and weeks 6, 12 and 24 2Worse PSR and same PSR = PSR at weeks 6, 12 and 24 compared to baseline 3Mean squared error of observed score obtained from ANOVA model examining repeated observations of measure in clinically stable subjects 4Average change score of observations with worse PSR – average change score of observations with same PSR)/sqrt (2*MSE)
