Registered outcomes1

Each outcome the trial registered, primary first, in ClinicalTrials.gov's words.

ListOutcomeTime frameDescription
PrimaryMean Changes of Aberrant Behavior Checklist-Japanese Version (ABC-J) Irritability Subscale Scores From Baseline.Baseline, Week 4, 8, 16, 24, 52
Using caregiver-rated ABC-J, the degree of aberrant behaviors was scored on four levels ranging from 0 'not at all a problem', 1 'slight problem', 2 'moderately serious problem' to 3 'the problem is severe in degree' in irritability subscale (including 15 items describing symptoms of irritability, such as temper tantrums, aggression, mood changes, and self-injury). The irritability subscale score ranging from 0 to 45 was derived from the sum of the 15 items and higher values represent a worse outcome.
