  • Estimates presented are from linear mixed effects model (unadjusted) without random slope.

  • The numbers of participants for each outcome at 3 months varied between 97 and 104 due to some missing responses

  • ↑Increase in scores indicates improvement.

  • ↓Decrease in scores indicates improvement.
