Trial characteristics | Description/Detail from report |
15. How many participants were randomized in the trial? | |
16. State the title/name given to each randomly allocated treatment group by investigators/authors of the trial (use direct quotes) and the number of participants in each group | |
17. Number of participants in each group who received the intended treatment | |
18. Number of participants reported in the analysis for each outcome (Provide details of any differences in numbers of participants between intended and actual analysis of outcomes) | |
19. Number of excluded participants (i.e. investigators/trialists withdrew participants from trial after randomization and group allocation. Report numbers, %, etc., and study author’s rationale for exclusion) | |
20. Number of drop‐outs or loss to follow‐up (participants who intentionally or unintentionally withdrew from the trial after treatment allocation. Report numbers, %, etc., and rationale if provided) | |
21. Length of follow‐up reported in the trial | |
22. Duration of the trial (i.e. from first to last participant) | |
23. Describe the positioning schedule and/or sequence for each allocated treatment group (e.g. group 1 ‐ 2‐hourly lateral positioning vs group 2 ‐ supine positioning (parallel‐group design) or randomized sequence of SLR for all participants serving as own controls with 6 possible combinations of SLR (cross‐over design). Report on the following · duration in each body position, including baseline position · total number of turns undertaken by participants in each group during the trial · total duration of the positioning schedule (from baseline/first position to last measurement in the last position). If cross‐over design, give duration in each arm and total duration |
