Treatment
Allocation to intervention
Randomised controlled trial
Procedure for enrolling a subject and allocating the treatment (allocation concealment procedures)
Patients are screened for eligibility by a member of the clinical research team on wards or in pre-operative clinic. Informed consent is sought and the patient enrolled.
The study drugs are prepared by an independent operator and are indistinguishable.
Study group allocation using serially numbered secure envelopes.
Methods used to generate the sequence in which subjects will be randomised (sequence generation)
Permuted block randomisation.
Masking / blinding
Blinded (masking used)
