BMI, body mass index; WHO, World Health Organization; P, patient reported; C, carer reported; TAU, treatment as usual.

a

Time points refer to time since discharge.

b

Coefficients represent estimated treatment effect of ECHO – TAU.

c

97.5% confidence interval (for joint primary outcome).

d

Group effects represent factor change.

Note: Coach effects were found to be negligible and were therefore not included in the models.
