Allocation to intervention
Randomised controlled trial
Procedure for enrolling a subject and allocating the treatment (allocation concealment procedures)
Allocation performed by pharmacy department at the LGH and it was randomised permuted block, stratified according to cause of renal disease. Concealment is randomisation allocation in sequentially labelled opaque heat sealed envelopes.
Methods used to generate the sequence in which subjects will be randomised (sequence generation)
Sequence generation performed by computer program at the pharmacy department, LGH, Launceston
Masking / blinding
Blinded (masking used)
