Data are presented as mean±sd, unless otherwise stated. BMI: body mass index; FFMI: fat-free mass index; FMI: fat mass index; TBW: total body water; ICW: intracellular water; ECW: extracellular water. #: n=24 for weight and BMI for all time-points, and for all data at 1 year; n=23 for all other measurements at baseline, 1 month and 6 month time-points (for one patient, useable bioelectrical impedance analysis could not be obtained at baseline and 1 month, and one patient missed the 6-month measurement). Individual p-values for change between baseline and that time-point (derived from the regression model with Bonferroni correction): *: p<0.05; **: p<0.005; ***: p<0.0001. Overall p-value is for the linear mixed effects regression model for effect of time on variables.
