Means and standard deviation (SD) come from all available data (before the last case was carried forward).
Results from intention to treat linear mixed models comparing intervention and comparisons groups (coefficients (b), 95%CI, p value, standardized beta weights(β)), adjusted for baseline level of outcome, age, and sex.
