^a.

N=67; baseline values are the observed mean (SD); change scores are the least-squares adjusted means (SD) from the repeated measures analysis

^b.

SF-36: Range for all scores 0–100; Physical Composite – average of physical functioning, role limitations (physical), pain and general health; Mental Health Composite – average of emotional well-being, role limitations (emotional), social and vitality

^c.

P value for change from baseline
