Randomization (investigator's opinion)
Randomized
Randomization description
In this method, all patients during the study period will be equally and randomly divided into case and control groups and will enter the study. Randomization of study samples will be done in two groups by random allocation. For this purpose, we first determine the total sample size, then randomly assign a set of them to group A and the rest to group B. we do this using a table of random numbers. In assigning patients to two hidden groups Random sequencing will be considered throughout the process and the patient and researcher will not be aware of the group the patient is entering. Awareness of subsequent allocation may lead to the elimination of specific patients by the researcher based on their disease prognosis, or patients with better conditions enter the intervention group and patients with worse conditions enter the control group.
Blinding (investigator's opinion)
Double blinded
Blinding description
In this study, participants were kept blind to being in the intervention group or control group. Patients were assured that their information would be kept strictly confidential. Patients were given full explanations about the objectives, method of implementation of the plan and its possible side effects, and if they or their legal guardians were willing, consent was obtained and included in the study. They were blind from being in any of intervention or control groups.
