Bold numbers represent factors that were found to be significantly different during statistical comparison(s). The p values reported above were determined by comparing paired changes from the initial visit to the follow-up visit in each in category between the control and study cohorts (using a 2-sample t test). 95% CI, 95% confidence interval; MDD, mean difference of differences; HADS, Hospital Anxiety Depression Survey; SIBDQ, Short Inflammatory Bowel Disease Questionnaire; HBI, Harvey-Bradshaw Index; SCCAI, Short Clinical Colitis Activity Index.
