a

Follow-up time (person-years). This includes time until the first event, occurrence of a competing event, loss to follow-up, or day 182, whichever occurred first.

b

c

One participant had two episodes, the first mild-moderate and the second asymptomatic.

d

Five participants had two episodes, one had three episodes and other one had four episodes.

e
