Type of endpoint/s
Efficacy
Statistical methods / analysis
Descriptive summaries of patient demographic data will consist of frequency distributions for categorical variables and means (SD) or medians (IQR) for continuous variables. Univariate comparisons between groups will be done using Chi-squared or Fisher Exact tests for categorical data and t-tests or Mann-Whitney U tests for continuous data. Proportions of non-deficiency will be compared between groups at baseline and days 3 and 7 using Chi-squared tests and Generalised linear mixed models (GLMM). Results will be summarised using odds ratios and 95% confidence intervals. LMM with random subject effects will be used to compare raw thiamine levels between groups at baseline and days 3 and 7. Results will be summarised using estimated means and 95% confidence intervals. Cost differences between groups will be described using means (SD) and compared using t tests.
