116 Chapter 6. Online CBT in Routine Clinical Practice6.2.4 Statistical significance and effect sizeStatistical significance. Table 6.2 shows means and standard deviations of patients’questionnaire scores at each measurement occasion. Table 6.3 shows results ofthe regression analyses of pre-to-post-treatment changes in symptom severity. Eachmeasure of specific and general psychopathology indicated significant (P < .001)reductions in symptom severity, on the short term (at posttest and 6-week follow-up),as well as on the long term (at one-year follow-up).Effect size. Point estimates and 95% confidence intervals of effect sizes are shown inTable 6.3. With regard to the primary outcome measures of specific symptom severity,short-term improvements represented a large pooled standardized effect size of d =1.4 (range: 0.7 ≤ d ≤ 1.9). One year after treatment, these effect sizes were foundto be sustained. With regard to general psychopathology (as measured by the DASStotal score), short-term improvements represented a large pooled effect size of d =1.2 (range: 0.7 ≤ d ≤ 1.6), and these effect sizes also sustained on the long term.6.2.5 Reliable and clinically significant changeResults of the clinical significance analyses are shown in Table 6.4. On the short-term(at post-test and 6-weeks follow-up), reliable improvement was 72% among treatmentcompleters (n = 1046, 71%), and 55% in the full intent-to-treat sample (N = 1500,conservatively assuming no change where scores were unavailable). Recovery (i.e.,reliable improvement from a pretest score above cut-off to a post-treatment scorebelow cut-off) was 51% in the completers analysis and 40% in the intent-to-treatanalysis. Reliable deterioration was 2% or less. Available data of the 1-year follow-up(n = 358), which were almost exclusively provided by treatment completers (99%),revealed an average reliable improvement rate of 78% and a recovery rate of 59%(c.f. Table 6.5).
