a Efficacy population: only the participants who completed the study were included in the efficacy analysis. No explanation or justification of this is provided by the authors.

b Safety population for the individual adverse effects appears to include all randomised participants. For 'any adverse effect' this appears to be reported for only 36/39 patients in glycopyrronium group and 30/39 in the placebo group. The reason for this is not discussed in the paper.

c Of the 7 participants who stopped treatment in the glycopyrronium bromide group due to adverse events, 4 stopped before the end of the first week.

d Includes drowsiness, restlessness, hyperactivity, short attention span, frustration, irritability, mood changes, temper outbursts, explosive behaviour, excessive sensitivity, seriousness, sadness, frequent crying episodes, fearfulness.
