Author Contributions
BJB, RWP, SB, HA, JCM and WS designed the study. MH, JC, NS, RWP, HA, DBC, DS, CP, KM, and JCM collected data. BJB, MH, JCM, and WS analysed data. BJB, MH, JC, NS, SB, HA, DBC, DS, GT, CH, KM, and JCM enrolled patients. BJB, MH, RWP, HA, DS, and JCM wrote the paper. RWP contributed to the original design of the trial as part of a committee and entered subject data. SB recruited for the study and reviewed drafts for accuracy. KM did neurological exams/cognitive assessments. PLoS Clinical Trials was not able to contact Carmen Romero and Gabriel Torres personally and so was not able to confirm the details of their contribution to the manuscript or any competing interests. The corresponding author BJB has therefore supplied this information, which is correct to the best of his knowledge. BJB was primarily responsible for the writing of this manuscript with input from the co-authors and the decision to submit the paper for publication.
