  2. aAt study entry
  3. bPercentage calculated from number of patients using long-term prophylaxis at study entry and/or during enrollment
  4. cAttack rate during enrollment. P = 0.469 comparing the normal, overweight, and obese categories. The underweight category was excluded from the comparison due to small sample size. Two patients (one normal BMI, one obese BMI) were found to be outliers because of an abnormally high rate of reinjections and rescue medication use. When their data are excluded, mean ± SD for normal = 8.4 ± 14.6 attacks/patient and for obese = 6.9 ± 8.6 attacks/patient (Additional file 1: Table S1)
