improvement
In the pooled hypericum arms (n=147), early improvement in somatic-gastrointestinal (p<0.001, r2=0.262) and hypochondriasis (p=0.004, r2=0.218) items from baseline to week 1 significantly predicted remission at endpoint, after controlling for baseline severity, and both survived Bonferroni correction.
| Effect size | somatic-GI: p<0.001, r2=0.262; hypochondriasis: p=0.004, r2=0.218 |
| Comparator | Non-improvement in somatic-GI/hypochondriasis items at week 1 within the same treatment group |
| Effect summary | improvement; somatic-GI: p<0.001, r2=0.262; hypochondriasis: p=0.004, r2=0.218 |
