^aMann–Whitney U test comparing change from baseline of those women with more severe vasomotor symptoms at baseline to those with less severe symptoms within groups

^bMean ± SD (all such values)

^A,BValues with different superscript letters across a row are significantly different (one-way ANOVA with quadratic contrast analyses)
