|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mean (95% CI) | Episodes, n | Mean (95% CI) | Episodes, n | P b | |
| Hypomania | 23.2 (2.0 to 44.4) | 5 | 5.8 (0.71 to 10.9) | 5 | 0.06 |

a
Some patients had more than one subsyndromal episode. Thus, the number of patients experiencing an episode shown in Table 2 may be smaller than the total number of episodes shown in Table 3.
b
P-value is for comparison of mean duration between groups.
