Try to collect all data as close as possible AFTER the time of randomisation. But if the nearest data point is more than 12 hours after randomisation, record the data point as ND (data missing Not Done). In this instance, if data is available from the 6 hour period preceding randomisation, it would be acceptable to use this.
