Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| 1. Abdominal wall depth from the centre of the umbilicus to the peritoneal edge in millimetres (mm) measured using cross-sectional imaging (CT or MRI scans) at one timepoint 2. Waist circumference measured in a complete circle passing through the centre of the umbilicus in millimetres (mm) using a measuring tape at one timepoint 3. Height and weight measured using routine procedures in centimetres (cm) and kilograms (kg), respectively, at one timepoint | — |
