BMI, body mass index; WHO, World Health Organization; P, patient reported; C, carer reported; TAU, treatment as usual.
Time points refer to time since discharge.
Coefficients represent estimated treatment effect of ECHO – TAU.
97.5% confidence interval (for joint primary outcome).
Group effects represent factor change.
Note: Coach effects were found to be negligible and were therefore not included in the models.
