For ‘never on imiglucerase’ patients, baseline is defined as the most recent date for which a data point for a given variable was available. Therefore different variables may have different assessment dates. For ‘ever on imiglucerase’ patients, baseline is defined as the data point closest to the first infusion date, no more than −2 years/+6 weeks (inclusive) from first infusion. Treated patients with no infusion date were excluded from the analysis for each bone assessment.
