* Effect size: the mean change score divided by the standard deviation of the baseline score.

† Standardized response mean: the mean change score divided by the standard deviation of the change score.

‡ Guyatt's responsiveness statistic: the mean change score divided by the standard deviation of change in subjects who remained stable. Stable groups are defined as an increase or a decrease of up to 1 letter.
