    EthicsIRB: This study was approved by the AdventHealth Institutional Review Board (#1590483).
    Sex as a biological variablenot detected.
    Randomizationnot detected.
    Blindingnot detected.
    Power AnalysisTo increase the statistical power, imputation of missing values was accomplished by a multiple imputation approach using the predictive mean matching method [9], as implemented by the R package mice [10].

    About SciScore

    SciScore is an automated tool that is designed to assist expert reviewers by finding and presenting formulaic information scattered throughout a paper in a standard, easy to digest format. SciScore checks for the presence and correctness of RRIDs (research resource identifiers), and for rigor criteria such as sex and investigator blinding. For details on the theoretical underpinning of rigor criteria and the tools shown here, including references cited, please follow this link.
