Population: Intent-to-treat

A weekly SBM frequency rate is calculated as (168 x Number of SBMs / Number of hours observed). A participant with an SBM frequency rate between 3 and 4 was considered a moderate responder. A subject with an SBM frequency rate higher than 4 was considered a full responder. If a subject was a moderate responder or full responder for at least half the weeks in a month, then he or she was considered a monthly responder.
