SAT II mean scores and SD for patients with a BPI-DN item 5 score within the specified range.
An analysis of variance (ANOVA).
Pairwise comparisons between means were performed using Scheffé’s test adjusting for multiple comparisons; 1 = 0–3 versus 4–6; 2 = 0–3 versus 7–10; 3 = 4–6 versus 7–10; , , and .
