  Limitations and Caveats

Limitations of the study, such as early termination leading to small numbers of participants analyzed and technical problems with measurement leading to unreliable or uninterpretable data
Limitations are the relatively small sample size and loss to follow-up. Medical records of patients that were lost to follow up was reviewed to ensure that no SAE occurred. We also attempted multiple times to contact patients.
