Notes: Significant at probability alpha level 0.05; Reference group in statistical models is Group 1; PICF = Participant Information and Consent Form; BV1 = Baseline Visit 1; RR = Relative Risk or Risk Ratio; *12 participants are not included in this total as they did not attend their first baseline visit & were unable to be contacted for follow up, **Total randomised is adjusted by removing participants excluded due to pathology etc. after their first baseline visit (Group 1 n = 258, Group 2 n = 389).
