aPercentage impaired refers to total number of patients (in %) showing impairment out of total sample of group (i.e., scoring at or above 3 by psychosocial domain and scoring at or above 13 on global score).
bNumber of patients (in %) showing mild impairment out of total number of patients impaired.
cNumber of patients (in %) showing moderate impairment out of total number of patients impaired.
dNumber of patients (in %) showing severe impairment out of total number of patients impaired.
