a
T-scores are normalized around a mean of 50 and standard deviation of 10 in the general population, with higher scores indicating more of the measured domain.
b
p-value indicates statistical significance of changes in T-scores based on paired t-tests.
c
Worsening as defined by T-score change ≥ 3.
