Notes from the review of this manuscript

This manuscript received a low rating under two different analytic approaches. First, the authors used a method called multiple imputation to address missing outcome data; however, their specific imputation approach did not meet HomVEE Version 2 standards. Second, the authors presented findings based on a complete case analysis. These findings also received a low rating due to high attrition and a lack of baseline equivalence between the analytic groups on required characteristics—race, ethnicity, and socioeconomic status.
