Change in Neurocognitive Function (Global Cognition) Secondary · Baseline and 2.5 years

The specified primary cognitive endpoint compared between treatment groups was change from baseline on a global cognitive composite score calculated as an average of standardized scores for 14 neuropsychological tests weighted by the inverse intertest correlation matrix. Neuropsychological test scores at baseline and follow-up assessments were standardized (\[raw score-mean score\]/standard deviation) using the baseline means and standard deviations from the entire WISH sample. Each of 3 cognitive composite scores was calculated at baseline and follow-up as the weighted average of the individu
