Total numbers of patients randomised to each study group at enrolment. Numbers of respondents at each follow-up varied and were less that 895 for the group receiving usual care and less than 906 for the intervention group because of missing data. Numbers of respondents for any one item ranged from a total (usual care and intervention patients combined) 1379 to 1797 because of missing data.
