Analysis of the primary outcome included all randomized participants with no exclusions (intention-to-treat). Time to recurrence was assessed using a Cox proportional hazards model and participants with limited follow-up data, including deaths, were included in the analysis but censored accordingly.
Compliance was high with no exclusions owing to supra-threshold salivary caffeine.
There were no exclusions due to conflicting self-report and marker ancestry in the serum analyses performed in controls only.
There were no exclusions due to missing data, and so the data included in this analysis were complete.
As we wanted to include a wide range of participants typical of the broad spectrum of patients with ADHD typically presenting in the clinic, no exclusions relating to medication status were applied.
There were no exclusions attributable to the presence or absence of risk factors or comorbidities, as is often present in randomized controlled trials with limitations owing to strict inclusion and exclusion criteria that may limit their applicability to the common patient populations.
Please note that all AAS required courses count toward the total of 12 departmental courses; that is, there are no AAS prerequisite exclusions to the Rule of 12. AAS 201, AAS 300, and the core survey courses must be counted toward the departmental course limit of 12. Independent work is excluded from the count.
The resulting values were used to sort the 19055 genes in ascending order (i.e., from no nucleosome exclusion to complete nucleosome exclusion).
Furthermore, this investigation has high external validity (no exclusion according to age, stage, or recurrence, participants from both urban and rural areas).
Gagliotti et al. included only those subjects who were transferred from other institutions (both hospitals and long-term care facilities) or who were hospitalized in the previous two months or recovered in ICDs or post-acute wards, whereas we applied no exclusion criteria to the surgical subjects.
