Meanwhile, medium term follow-up of those patients proceeding on the randomised study confirmed the excellent prognosis of those who respond to such therapy.
In each survey, the time referent used for the items is framed based on the timing of the proceeding follow-up survey (i.e. the baseline survey time referent is "the past/next four months" and the four and ten month follow-up surveys time referent is "the past/next six months").
