However, this study was limited by non-random allocation and post allocation exclusion of patients.
For example, although there may be similar numbers of males, females, disease state positive and negative in the treatment groups post allocation, all of the positive males may receive one treatment and all of the positive females the other.
I provide a procedure to identify the main properties of the ex-post allocation.
A coordinator of WBANs has the ability of arranging committed scheduled allocation intervals, unscheduled bi-link allocation intervals on the best-effort basis, and improvised polled and posted allocation intervals in contention-free access phases.

At least in these situations the baseline CCL3L1-CCR5 genofyping of the trial participants might have relevance so as to either resort to a stratified randomization protocol or to post-allocation adjustment for the potential influence of the genotypes on vaccine efficacy.
However, this study was limited by non-random allocation, and post-allocation exclusion of subjects with chronic illnesses.
In either case, the regression models will accommodate additional covariates, as required, to adjust for PCN site, as well as any post-allocation baseline differences between groups in clinically important (e.g., age, sex) or statistically significant (e.g., p < 0.1) characteristics.
