b

As assessed with the Scale for the Assessment of Positive Symptoms (SAPS) total summary score of the four global domain scores (ranging from 0 to 20, higher scores indicating more positive symptoms)

c

As assessed with the Scale for the Assessment of Negative Symptoms (SANS) total summary score of the five global domain scores (ranging from 0 to 25, higher scores indicating more negative symptoms)
