Concealment Type: Sealed Envelope
How to conceal: The random allocation list of patients will only be at the disposal of the plan's epidemiologist. In order to hide the random allocation process, a number of 134 sealed envelopes are prepared and a random 10-digit code is written on each envelope, which is the identification number of the relevant intervention, and only the methodologist of the project will be aware of the relevant code. All the envelopes are placed in a box in order based on the random allocation list and given to the person responsible for sampling. When the doctor declares the eligibility of a patient, the sampler will provide the envelope design to the doctor. The desired treatment is selected based on the type of treatment mentioned in the envelope.
