Randomization Procedure (please state who generates the random number sequence and by what method)：

This study employed a completely random method enrolling cases that met the criteria in the order of their first visit. A computer-generated Excel spreadsheet was used to randomly produce 60 numbers. These random numbers were then arranged from largest to smallest with the first 30 assigned to the observation group and the next 30 to the control group. Subsequently the groups were re-arranged according to the original sequence of the randomly generated numbers. The grouping results were concealed in opaque sealed envelopes for backup. The envelopes were opened in the order of patient admission to assign the random numbers and determine the group assignment ensuring that the observed cases were randomly allocated to the two groups with 30 cases in each group.
