For reporting, estimated means and SEs from mixed models were back-transformed to their original units as: exp (mean log) ± exp(mean log) × (exp(SE log) − 1) or exp(mean log) − 1 ± exp(mean log) × (exp(SE log) − 1) for log(x) or log(x + 1) transformations, respectively.Baseline was 1 year after surgery. After intervention was approximately 15 months after surgery. Follow-up was approximately 18 months after surgery.
