An assessment was performed daily from randomization to Day of Discharge and at the Efficacy Follow-up visit at week 7 ± 1 week. Clinically evident cerebrospinal fluid leak was confirmed by: 1. Glucose concentration test and/or 2. β-2-transferrin test. A clinically evident pseudomeningocele was considered to be present post-operatively if the following criteria were fulfilled: 1. A subcutaneous, visible/palpable fluctuant fluid accumulation was noted at the site of the surgical incision or adjacent to it; 2. It is suspected the fluid accumulation is cerebrospinal fluid. A treatment failure was defined as application of a new and/or different treatment after application of the study treatment or a third application of (or part of) the selected study treatment on the outside of the dura.
