SE= standard error;
a
Data are presented as least square means (SD) from the mixed models;
b
Adjusted mean difference= differences of least-squares means from mixed model conditioned on baseline score;
c
P-value from mixed model conditioned on baseline score - value of p < 0.05 are statistical significant;
d
Effect size calculated from the absolute value of the adjusted means differences divided by the pooled standard deviation at baseline.
