Data are summarized as mean ± SD.
a
Number of participants with available change data (baseline minus follow-up) differs slightly from the number with available data at follow-up: CBCL (N = 178), PedsQL Child (N = 183), OSAS-18 (N = 182).
b
P values were based on paired t test of baseline and follow-up.
