Expected and actual recruitment: Recruitment of participants from the 1st October 2014 till close of recruitment on 31st March 2015. If we take the full 26-week period, this would result in an average of 2.6 participants per week over the study period. However, if we were to take the first and last recruitment dates this give a period of 20 weeks which results in an average of 3.4 participants per week.
