Table 2 provides the baseline scores for WASI, CVLT-II and D-KEFS Color Word Interference Test.
Values are presented as Mean±SEM. Student t test and ANOVA were used to compare the means for EST+/EST- groups and EST PHYSIOL/ESTORAL/EST- groups respectively and P values are shown. There were no significant differences between the EST+ and EST- groups and EST-, EST PHYSIOL and EST ORAL groups at baseline.
Abbreviations: CVLT-II: California Verbal Learning Test, Edition II, D-KEFS: Delis Kaplan Executive Function System, EST-: No estrogen replacement, EST+: Estrogen replacement, EST ORAL: Oral estrogen groups and EST PHYSIOL: Transdermal estrogen, WASI: Wechsler’s Scale of Intelligence.
