Table 4. Means and standard deviations of Multidimensional Fatigue Inventory (MFI) scores for 1-year follow-up in total and for both treatment groups (N=132). First p-value per scale tests linear 1-year trend for the total group, second p-value tests overall interaction time*group effect (i.e. difference in 1-year trend between groups).
