This shows, for example, from left to right, the mean change in NRS at one year from baseline for the one‐year completed cohort (n = 47), the two‐year completed cohort (n = 39), the three‐year completed cohort (n = 37), and the four‐year completed cohort (n = 33) followed by the standard deviation of those four means.
Positive values represent the magnitude of the improvement in outcome over baseline.
