aAn odds ratio of 1 indicates the reference group. Values shown in bold are significant. The z‐score group < 0 for each BRIEF dimension is the reference group.

bOdd ratio calculated by logistic regression for each variable.

cAdjusted simultaneously for diagnosis and psychometric data (CDI total score, STAI‐Y 1 and STAI‐Y 2).
