  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
Study stopped early due to low/inadequate enrollment and findings are subsequently limited by low power to detect differences.
