Results of the robust ANCOVAs comparing patients to their peers at predetermined covariate levels for both assessgame metrics with bootstrapped 95% confidence intervals. The span parameter was set to 1 for the patient group and 0.7 for their peers. Abbreviation: 95%-CI bootstrapped 95% confidence interval, corrected for multiple testing
