†Multivariate linear regression, R2 = 0.63. Only statistically significant coefficients displayed.
‡This represents a paired t-test determining significance of the baseline and follow-up PDQ.
‖This variable had a statistically significant association with a change in PDQ score on univariate analysis using a two-sample t-test, p = 0.02.
