The primary analysis will comprise comparison of MAHS disability prevalence by allocated treatment group, through fitting of logistic models including terms indicating allocation to Co-amoxiclav/not and to Erythromycin/not, together with an interaction term.
When calculating the Gini-index of health resource allocation by area, Gini-index were >0.5 from 1998 to 2012, which indicate allocation by area is inequitable for a longtime, and allocation of nurse is especially serious.
A random number sequence for each strata is generated using a random function in SAS version 9.2 and generated a random sequence of A and B's to indicate allocation to intervention or control groups.
Following the recruitment of each woman, an opaque envelope will be selected in sequential order by the attending clinician and the contents will indicate allocation to the intervention group or the control group.
Prior to initiation of the trial, a staff at Harvard School of Public Health (HSPH) not associated with implementation of the trial generated serial numbers from 1 through 400, and randomly assigned these to A and B to indicate allocation to the intervention or placebo groups using SAS version 9.0.
Logistic regression analysis determining dropout (yes/no) including the variables age, sex, educational level, and group-allocation indicated that allocation to the intervention group was significantly associated with higher dropout rates during the study (odds ratio (OR) = 2.2, p = 0.013).
Relatively higher percentage of NPP in coarse root of DS indicated higher allocation to root to collect more water and nutrients from nutrient deficient soil.
The remainder of the included studies indicated that allocation concealment was implemented, but did not provide sufficient information about the method of concealment [ 29, 32, 38, 39, 41– 41].
Only 1% (10/1077) of RCTs reported reasonable allocation concealment, including central allocation and sealed opaque envelopes; 99% (1067/1077) of trials did not indicate the allocation concealment method.
