Fig 1 Study participation and drop-out. Numbers in boxes indicate patients who participated at that time point; study dropouts are indicated between the boxes with reason for dropout, where available. Patients with “missed visits” did not drop out of the study but returned to complete later assessments. These missed visits were generally due to scheduling difficulties. (CABG = coronary artery bypass graft surgery; PCI = percutaneous coronary intervention.)
