(B) For binary trial outcomes (ie, odds ratios for 12 months data)
†Analysis was adjusted for baseline outcome score; participants with data missing at baseline were excluded from the analysis.
‡All 194 participants who completed the trial were included in the analysis of “using at least one LVA”; analyses of “using a LVA daily” and “for > 5 minutes” were restricted to the 95% of participants using at least one LVA at 12 months.
Measured task performance:
Read at least one “Use by date” ELVR v CLVR 0.83 0.40 to 1.75 0.63
ELVR v ELVR 0.48 0.23 to 1.02 0.06

LVA use‡:
Using at least one LVA ELVR v CLVR 0.51 0.12 to 2.13 0.36
ELVR v ELVR 0.43 0.10 to 1.81 0.25
CELVR v LVR 1.18 0.23 to 6.05 0.85
