PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 24 months

In electrocardiography, the PR interval is the period that extends from the beginning of the P wave (the onset of atrial depolarization) until the beginning of the QRS complex. Variations in the PR interval can be associated with certain medical conditions.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 24 Months

Nicotine withdrawal symptoms were measured using the revised Minnesota Nicotine Withdrawal Scale (MWS-R) questionnaire. Extended total scores were used, i.e. the sum of the scores of all 15 questions of the questionnaire. Symptoms (e.g. angry, irritable, frustrated, depressed, restless, insomnia) were rated from 0 (none) to 4 (severe). Extended total scores may range from 0 to a maximum of 60.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 24 months

The exposure to nicotine was measured by quantifying the change from BL in the amount of nicotine equivalents excreted in urine in 24-hours (AE24h).
