Fig 1 Participant flow of the APW-RSV trial. aSome patients were excluded based on having more than 1 exclusion criterion. Details for those screened but not eligible were not collected. bOne of the patients who was lost to follow-up had 11 (of 12) months of follow-up and contributed all biological samples for cytokine measurements.
