Figure 2. Effect of guanfacine treatment on prefrontal executive function (PEF6 z-score) in cognitively normal older participants.
Least squares means and 95% confidence limits are estimated from linear mixed effects models accounting for serial correlation among repeated PEF6 z-score measurements at three time-points (baseline, 6 weeks, and 12 weeks). Both the observed means (A) and the difference (from baseline) means (B) are shown after multivariable adjustments for age, education, and sex. Abbreviations: PEF6 z-score, mean of z-scores for 6 executive function tasks (CANTAB: Spatial Working Memory, Stockings of Cambridge, Intradimensional/Extradimensional Shift, Paired Associates Learning; Stroop Color Word Score, Trail Making Test B).
