A heterogeneous mix of 300 critically ill patients were randomized, by concealed computer allocation, to either nurse-directed glycemic control (Nurse-C) or algorithm-guided glycemic control (LOGIC-C).
Participants for each order of diet intervention were matched (in order) by sex, age, BMI and, where needed, HbA1c, with allocation to either group by independent statistical supervision.
After written consent was obtained, a study researcher administered the baseline questionnaire followed by random allocation to either the real or sham acupuncture group.
Neither of the co-primary outcomes was significantly reduced by allocation to metoprolol.
Primary healthcare facilities, stratified by district, were assigned by simple random allocation to either the mobile phone intervention or control group.
A statistician blinded to the identity of the strata, and clusters assigned the clusters within each stratum by simple random allocation to either the training or the control.
A statistician - who was blinded to the identity of the strata and clusters - assigned the clusters within each stratum by simple random allocation to either the training or the control group.
This can especially occur if environmental stress negatively affects storage, either by reducing allocation to storage due to limited resource uptake or by depleting previously stored resources (e.g. caused by investment in increased elongation (Huber et al. 2012; Xu et al. 2013).
We chose this approach to avoid the risk of contamination, i.e. the inadvertent delivery of intervention to members of the control group, associated with individual randomisation in educational research.[ 8] Random allocation sequence was generated by computer to either intervention or control group and was stratified by country.
But I believe there is logic to the argument that an indexed position can be enhanced by an allocation to smaller companies like those you pick.
