See details on inclusion criteria and the trial protocol here.
I don't think the inclusion criteria took that into account.
A total of 220 adult subjects, ages 18-50 years old met inclusion criteria.
The inclusion criteria should address at least the following.
The search revealed 20 cohort studies that met our inclusion criteria.
Statistical tests used were adequate for all studies (this was one of the inclusion criteria).
Of the 88 patients invited to participate, 62 fulfilled the inclusion criteria and agreed to the study.
No other exclusion or inclusion criteria (such as breastfeeding) were used.
Meanwhile, am enjoying the 'how it's judged' and inclusion criteria debate.
An example is a check of the subject's date of birth to ensure that they are within the inclusion criteria for the study.
