  1. VRS-PI measured on a 4-point VRS (0 = ‘none’ to 3 = ‘severe’). Baseline PI refers to the VRS-PI recorded immediately prior to the administration of the study medication (in contrast to VRS-PI measured before randomisation for eligibility purposes). Baseline PI was moderate or severe in 601 patients; it was reported as “mild” by 3 (0.5 %) patients and results were missing for 2 (0.3 %) patients due to compilation data error on the eDiary
