The secondary analysis will be a per protocol analysis, excluding intervention group participants who did not attend at least three of the four intervention sessions.
Excluding intervention costs, mean health-care costs in the intervention arm were £1,722, compared with £1,659 for the control arm.
Excluding intervention costs, the adjusted mean total 2-year costs (estimated from the generalised linear mixed model) were significantly higher in the RECODE group than in the usual care group by €584 from the healthcare perspective and €645 from the societal perspective (table 4).
The public-sector finances excluding interventions in the financial sector — the government's preferred measure — showed a deficit of £557 million, or $880 million, in July, compared with a £2.8 billion surplus in July 2011, the Office for National Statistics said.
Public sector net borrowing, excluding interventions such as bank bail-outs, rose to £15.2bn, the Office for National Statistics (ONS) said.
Retaining all competing and complementary interventions of interest in the choice set but excluding interventions with insufficient evidence to support formal evaluation from the performance measurement task.

During colonoscopy, the following were recorded: total procedure and withdrawal time (excluding interventions), cecal intubation, findings, and specific information regarding polyps including the number, location, size, morphology, and method of excision.
For this reason, and to be practical, a generic 'conventional care' arm was specified as the comparator intervention, implying an intervention that could contain a number of interventions such as generic dietary information and/or exercise but excluding interventions based on e-LDs or pharmacological treatment.
For the purpose of our study, we also excluded intervention studies that measured effects of specific interventions.
For HA, this fraction is very low because 3 oligosaccharides positioned at the polypeptide N-terminus elicit co-translational entrance of nascent chains in the Calnexin chaperone system [5], [6], [8] and exclude intervention of alternative pathways [8].
