Due to the high proportion of English-speaking patients, we systematically selected every second patient (50%) from an English-speaking alphabetical sampling list, yielding a more equitable distribution of language groups for the analyses.

In the health sciences more generally, authorship is often attributed in descending order of contribution [ 3] although other methods may also be applied (e.g., alphabetical order, principal investigator/team leader being senior last author) making distribution quite variable [ 30].
