LS Means and LS mean differences are from a mixed-model repeated-measures analysis with baseline blood cell DHA+EPA, HU use, age group, baseline disease severity, and treatment as covariates. The model uses subject as a repeated measure with a compound symmetry covariance structure and includes a visit by treatment interaction. Contrasts, dose trend, and P values are produced inside the model.

LS means and LS mean differences are from a mixed-model repeated-measures analysis with each parameter's respective baseline, HU use, age group, baseline disease severity, visit, and treatment as covariates, and subject as a random variable. The model uses subject as a repeated measure with an unstructured covariance structure and includes a visit by treatment interaction. Contrasts and P values are produced inside the model.
