Sensitivity to change of the simple (SBM) versus comprehensive Berlin scoring method (CBM). Mean fatty lesion scores of both treatment groups at baseline and Week 48. Sensitivity to change of SBM and CBM is represented by standardized response means (SRM) calculated for each reader and both readers together. Scores are given as mean (SD).
