Note:

aIncreasing scores for the specified variables indicate worse symptoms, except for physical function, where higher scores represent greater function

bFor the estimate of median change, negative estimates indicate improvements in symptom severity, whereas positive estimates indicate worsening of symptom severity over time

cFor the estimate of median change, negative estimates indicate that function worsened over time, whereas positive estimates indicate that function improved over time
