Sample Size Calculation Guide - Part 2: How to Calculate the Sample Size for an Independent Cohort Study
Journal Title: Advanced Journal of Emergency Medicine - Year 2019, Vol 3, Issue 1
Abstract
In the previous article, we explained how to calculate the sample size for a cross-sectional study based on a rate or a single proportion. In this article, we will explain how to calculate the sample size for an independent cohort study based on a comparison of two proportions representing the event rates in both the exposed and the non-exposed groups.
