a Efficacy population: only the participants who completed the study were included in the efficacy analysis. No explanation or justification of this is provided by the authors. b Safety population for the individual adverse effects appears to include all randomised participants. For 'any adverse effect' this appears to be reported for only 36/39 patients in glycopyrronium group and 30/39 in the placebo group. The reason for this is not discussed in the paper. c Of the 7 participants who stopped treatment in the glycopyrronium bromide group due to adverse events, 4 stopped before the end of the first week. d Includes drowsiness, restlessness, hyperactivity, short attention span, frustration, irritability, mood changes, temper outbursts, explosive behaviour, excessive sensitivity, seriousness, sadness, frequent crying episodes, fearfulness. |

a Efficacy population: modified ITT set, defined as all randomised participants who were within the age range of the amended protocol and received at least one dose of study medication. b Assessment performed at week 8 or at the last visit. c Safety population: all randomised participants who received at least one dose of study medication. |
