  • General information

    Due to the lack of erythromycin antibiotics in the market, azithromycin antibiotics were used and some minor changes were made.
    At the discretion of the research group, instead of randomization through coins, the Internet randomization "Blocked Randomization List" was used, and unfortunately, the registration of this change in "IRCT" has been forgotten.
    با توجه به عدم وجود انتی بیوتیک اریترومایسین در بازار از انتی بیوتیک ازیترومایسین استفاده شد و یکسری تغییرات جزئی صورت گرفت.
    با صلاحدید گروه پژوهشی به جای تصادفی سازی از طریق سکه از تصادفی سازی اینترنتی "Blocked Randomization List" استفاده شد و متاسفانه ثبت تغییر این اصلاح در "IRCT" فراموش شده است.
    For each patient, a coin is thrown once and in the case of a lion, the patient will be placed in the intervention group and in the case of a line, the patient will be placed in the control group.
    At first, according to the inclusion criteria, patients are selected and then according to the random sequence obtained through the "Blocked Randomization List" (random blocking with 6 blocks), in the same random order, patients will be divided into intervention and control groups.
    برای هر بیمار یکبار سکه پرتاب می شود و در صورت شیر امدن بیمار را در گروه مداخله ودر صورت خط امدن بیمار را در گروه شاهد قرار خواهیم داد.
    در ابتدا با توجه به معیارهای ورود به مطالعه، بیماران انتخاب می شوند و سپس با توجه به توالی تصادفی به دست آمده از طریق "Blocked Randomization List" (بلوک بندی تصادفی با بلوک های 6 تایی)، به همان ترتیب تصادفی، بیماران در دو گروه مداخله و کنترل قرار خواهند گرفت.
