1/15 • Number of events 1 • Adverse Events (AEs) were collected from the signing of the informed consent document, through the study follow up visit (approximately 1 week after the final dose of diclofenac).
Standard AE definitions were used. AE data were collected using non-leading questioning for subjects who were inpatients, and were collected using a take-home signs and symptoms diary (with parent/guardian assistance) for outpatient subjects. Daily phone calls were made to outpatient subjects to ensure compliance with diary collection procedures.
