The repeated
measures analysis of covariance required two postnatal growth measurements within the breastfeeding period, and therefore, the sample size was reduced to 19 in the fluoxetine group and to 11 in the no medication group.
Using a repeated
measures analysis of covariance for those infants with more than one postnatal weight measurement available, the difference between the two groups was similar, ∼ 1.2 standard deviations (P =.005).

An
analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) was performed to study the intervention effects on the dependent variables (ie, the GHQ items and the two subscales
of the PSOC) by examining differences between the intervention and control group at follow - up, controlling for baseline
measures.
Analyses used an
analysis of covariance (continuous
measure) or logistic regression (categorical
measure) with the posttreatment
measure as a covariate.
To examine changes between groups (intervention vs control) on baseline and follow - up assessments,
analysis of covariance will be performed for each outcome
measure.
