THA-C04 · accepted version recruitment and design precision
Classification and audit outcome: accepted version recruitment and design precision; supported with version caveat.
Finding
Accepted manuscript distinguishes 80 recruited from 58 complete cases, long preoperative retest versus one-minute postoperative repeat, and outlier-excluded narrower LoA.
Current amendment or qualification
Fifty-eight participants completed all assessments; the accepted manuscript reports 80 recruited. The final published article body and tables have not been recovered, so the recruitment detail remains version-qualified. Preoperative sessions were 7–35 days apart (mean 18 days); postoperative repeat tests were one minute apart at approximately six months. The narrower preoperative LoA of −3.2 to 3.5 seconds followed exclusion of three outliers. Preserve the version label and the unequal repeat intervals when comparing error estimates.
Integration note: Prefer:58 complete cases; accepted manuscript reports 80 recruited. State unequal repeat intervals and outlier exclusion.
Remaining limitation: Final published body/tables not recovered at QA snapshot; do not imply cross-version discrepancies settled.

Audit corrections describe the report only where that classification is explicit. A disagreement within a study, missing protocol, statistical query, access upgrade or optional addition is not silently converted into a report error or a new clinical threshold.
