Sample Size The necessary sample size will depend on the endpoint being evaluated, although there are numerous endpoints in this study with various magnitudes of incidence rates. In addition, this study will function in part as an explanatory research. We have therefore selected myocardial infarction...
Beta-blockers have been associated with decreased cancer mortality. However, evidence for lung cancer is sparse and reported beneficial effects might be based on biased analyses. In this so far largest study we investigated the association between β-blo
Obesity epidemic presents major challenge to chronic disease prevention. Young adults may be at higher risk due to consumption of energy dense foods/beverages and low physical activity. This study assessed the energy intake, expenditure and balance of 20
We used Cochran’s20 formula for calculating the sample size, with an assumed confidence interval width of 0.10 and α = .05. In phase 1 of the review, we divided the population of undervaccinated children into deciles of ADU, with an equal number of children in each decile. A medical ...
Sample calculation and data analysis 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...

2, and is suggested to be more accurate than the MDRD formula in Asian populations. The KNOW-CKD will employ the MDRD Study equation [12], as well as the CKD-EPI creatinine [14] and the CKD-EPI creatinine-cystatin C equations [15...
Full size image Table s1 displayed the distribution of missing data variables in our study. To maintain as large a sample size as possible, we employed multiple imputation methods to handle missing variables for sensitivity analysis. During the data cleaning process, we detected outliers in cumulativ...
