*

Cochran-Mantel-Haenszel (CMH) test adjusted for center, cumulative proportion of patients who developed PTS at any time between 6-24 months, inclusive. Villalta scores (0-33 range); VCSS scores (0-27 range), higher is worse for both.

At each visit, the proportion of patients with any PTS according to the Villalta scale among those who had an assessment performed (denominator)

Cumulative proportion with moderate or severe PTS (pre-specified analysis)
