  BACKGROUND
  Not reported
  
  
  METHODS
  Case series. The design of the current report needs to be regarded as a case series. There was no a priori power calculation or pilot data available. The current study is also not a true cross-sectional study, as participants were not consecutively recruited. Inclusion and exclusion criteria have been described rather weakly and do not follow established "case definitions."
