Masking Details
Randomization was computer based in blocks of eight to ensure an equal number of participants in each randomization group. The randomization scheme was generated by using the web site Randomization.com ⟨http://www.randomization.com⟩. The randomization center was located at the same hospital as one of the recruitment sites (OUH). The randomization list was sent directly and exclusively to the research secretariat in charge of treatment allocation. Bovine colostrum or the placebo supplement was provided in identical foil sachets differing only in randomization code. Participants, their treating physicians, and any individual involved in the coordination and implementation of the trial were masked to treatment allocation.
