The first number (before the first slash sign) is a score for the comparison of changes in a particular child from a year before the onset of the treatment to the start of the therapy, the number between slashes is a score for the comparison of changes in a particular child from the onset of the treatment to a year after the start of the therapy, and the number after the second slash is a score for the comparison of changes in a particular child from the onset of the treatment to 3 years after the start of the therapy. The following score scale was used: considerably deteriorated (−2), somewhat deteriorated (−1), no changes (0), somewhat improved (+1), considerably improved (+2).
