The sample size formula can be found in Fleiss et al.16 For paired cohort studies or case-cohort designs, the formulae can be found in Kasiulevičius et al17 and Cai and Zeng.9 When the outcome of interest in
At the beginning of the study (and during repeated follow-up assessments), exposure status (often to multiple exposures) is measured and the cohort is closely examined for the development of disease. As new cases of disease are identified in this study, calculation of incidence rates is ...
Sample size calculation Sample size for the study was calculated using modified Cochran’s formula: N = 4P (1-P)/W2. Margin of error (5%), non-response rate (5%) and p value of 17.0% which is the prevalence of obesity among urban Nigerian adults was used to obtain a sample size...
The sample size calculation formula for cohort was used based on the prevalence of malaria in the non-exposed group, which was estimated at 28% according to the study of Nyamu [16]. The prevalence of malaria in the exposed group estimated at 6.1% according to the DHIS2 [11]. Beta (10...
Using the formula p−=(p0+p1)/2, q−=1−p−, q1=1−p1, with a two-sided test level of α = 0.05 and β = 0.10, the sample size calculation formula for cohort studies (1) was applied. Assuming a 1:1 ratio between the exposed and control groups, 181 ...
According to the calculation formula of the sample size of the cohort study: n = (Z √ 2pq+Z √p0 q0 +p1 q1 2 ) , (p1 −p0 )2 with α = 0.05 and β = 0.10, the minimum sample size was 1765. This study included 14,833 subjects, and the basic needs of ...
Sample size calculation The required baseline sample size was calculated to address the most sensitive objective (Aim 2) of this four-year study using standard methods [10]. Sample size was calculated to detect a rate ratio of 0.2 between slopes (considered a small effect size [10]) for expl...
As this was a retrospective cohort study, a sample size calculation was not performed. Conclusion Research has focused on classification systems for trochlear dysplasia detection and treatment. Without knowing the true prevalence of the disease in the population, research is likely to remain focused ...
Considering the parameters of the sample size calculation, it was not pos- sible to compare the dichotomized outcome between the groups. However, the descriptive analysis revealed that, irrespective of the classification of ankyloglossia, approx- imately half of the children in the sample had BSE...
