Comparison of Groups Means (Standard Deviations) for Subsystem and Cluster Scores Examiner and sex effects were included as factors in the analyses, where relevant, and awake status at the start of the session was included as a covarate in all models.
| APIB Subsystem scores Range = 1-9: Lower scores indicate better organization | |||||
