I don't know if they collect patient names with their data, but if they do - and that patient is a minor child - I could see it being redacted. All 148 pages though? C'mon. They take us for fools.
They wouldn't use the actual patient names, regardless of age, in any study. There would be no patient identifiers; that being said, no, I am pretty sure that they used only adults in their study.

Didn't know that about names, but it makes sense. Thanks!
They anonymize med data all the time. It's not a barrier and is very common practice with HIPA and studies.
