Declarations
:
: The original trial received ethics approval from the Central Health and Disability Ethics Committee (11/09/054) and was registered with the Australia and New Zealand Clinical Trials Registry (ANZCTR: 12611000862943). Written informed consent was obtained from all parents/caregivers on behalf of trial participants, and verbal assent from participants. Ethics approval to use de-identified data from the interim service was not required, as clinical audit studies are exempt from full Health and Disability Ethics Committee review under section 3 of their Standard Operating Procedures v.3.0 (Ministry of Health 2019). Nonetheless, this study was conducted in accordance with the New Zealand Code of Health and Disability Services Consumers' Rights (Health and Disability Commissioner 1996) and adhered to all principles outlined in the National Ethical Standards for Health and Disability Research and Quality Improvement 2019 (National Ethics Advisory Committee, Ministry of Health).
