F: Patient Follow-Up
Were all patients who entered the trial properly accounted for at its conclusion?
Losses to follow-up should be less than 20% and reasons for drop-out given.
Answer:
Yes, all patients who entered the trial properly accounted for at its conclusion.
Critical Appraisal
Validity
R: Randomization
Were the recruited patients representative of the target population?
Answer:
Yes, the recruited patients are representative of target population. Children 5-12
years old of both sexes those having typhoid fever admitted in the pediatric ward
of Holy Family Hospital were included in the study.

R: Randomization
Was the allocation (assignment) of patients to treatment randomized and
concealed?
Answer:
Yes, it was randomized and concealed. The samples were randomly divided into
two groups, A and B. Group A was given Inj.Ciprofloxacin 10mg/kg I/V twice daily,
while group B was given Inj. Ceftriaxone 70mg/kg I/V once daily for 7 days.

I: Intention to Threat Analysis
Were patients analyzed in the groups to which they were randomized?
Answer:
Yes, patients analyzed in the groups to which they were randomized.

I: Intention to Threat Analysis
Were all randomized patient data analyzed? If not, was a sensitivity of “worst
case scenario” analysis done?
Answer:
Yes, all randomized patient data was analyzed.
Critical Appraisal
Validity
B: Blinding
Were patients, health workers, and study personnel “blind” to treatment?
Answer:
In this trial, the subjects are blinded about the drugs that given by the doctor
(single blinding).
