193 Significant decreases in IOP, CH, and CRF were reported within the first week after OrthoK treatment; however both IOP and CH gradually returned to baseline level at 1 month of lens wear and remained unchanged after 6 months.
EORTC physical functioning for both groups tended to increase over baseline level at 1 month by an average of 20 22 points whereas general quality of life decreased on average 26 28 points (Table 2).
124, 173, 184, 191 Significant decreases in corneal hysteresis (CH) and corneal resistance factor (CRF) were also reported within the first week after the treatment; however, both IOP and CH gradually returned to baseline level at 1 month of lens wear.
Analysis stratified by sex indicated that girls, but not boys, had a significant decrease; estimated mean difference (0.03 [95% CI: 0.01 to 0.05], P = 0.005) in the FFMI during the first three months, which increased (0.03 [0.001 to 0.06], P = 0.014) to baseline levels at 12 month.
Therefore, stigmatizing attitudes decreased immediately following the intervention but then increased to baseline levels at 3-month follow-up.
Therefore, stigmatizing attitudes decreased immediately following the intervention but then increased to almost baseline levels at 3-month follow-up in providers.
The prevalence of egg-patent schistosomiasis decreased significantly between baseline and 6 months, but returned to baseline levels at the 12 month follow-up.
Both vitality and mental health improved by the end of the intervention and remained at greater than baseline levels at the 24 month follow-up.
The data presented in this article showed an increase in physical activity behaviour between the beginning (April) and end of the courses (July), but activity levels were back to baseline levels at the second follow-up in October.
The CCT, which decreased from a baseline of 549.4 ± 37.6 to 543.9 ± 40.2 μm at 1 week post SLT (P=0.02), also returned to the baseline level by 1 month (P=0.2).
