Article Snippet: Random sequence generation (selection bias) , Low risk , Patients undergoing primary total hip replacement were randomised to one of three groups using stratified randomisation software (StratOs, Cooked Bits, Oswestry, UK) to balance the groups according to potentially confounding factors. The software used the Pocock and Simon implementation of the minimisation method. Prognostication was based on four prognostic factors: body mass index (BMI), age, gender and the use of aspirin and non‐steroidal anti‐inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs)..
