Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Change in vaginal health index score | 5.5 months | Scale score range is 5-25. The minimum 5 points core indicates severe vulvovaginal atrophy and the maximum total score of 25 points indicates no clinical signs of vulvovaginal atrophy. |
| Change in Female Sexual Distress Scale (FSD) | 5.5 months | A score of ≥11 effectively discriminates between women with FSD and no FSD. |
