Low risk of bias |
Random allocation using the block randomisation method was performed in all four branches of the strata, based on two prognostic factors such as age (< 55 and ≥55) and disease severity based on O2 saturation (<85 and ≥85). The patient, assessor, and analyser in the two groups did not have access to the randomisation list and type of administered drug (Triple blind). No major differences in the baseline characteristics. |
