Table 4 The mean depression score in study groups

Variable (Score range)	Oxytocin n= 34	Placebo n= 30	AMD (95% CI)^b	P-value
Variable (Score range)	Mean (SD)^a	Mean (SD)^a	AMD (95% CI)^b	P-value
Depression (0-30)
Baseline	6.32 (3.8)	7.03 (5.16)
8 weeks	4.59 (2.40)	6.63 (2.43)	-1.90 (-1.27 to -2.54)	<0.001

^b Adjusted mean difference (95% confidence interval)
ANCOVA test adjusted for baseline score was used to compare the mean scores at post-intervention
The higher scores indicate the more severe condition
