To detect a difference of 0.75 between treatment groups in the mean change from baseline in the number of UI episodes and assuming a 20% dropout rate it was necessary to enroll 56 patients, that is 28 per group. The calculation assumed a 2-sample procedure using 2-sided statistical testing.” | *** Note: ****Final analysis was conducted using ANCOVA model using baseline as a covariate. This study or resultant future studies could use effect of baseline covariate to adjust sample size downwards due to between-subjects variance decrease. *** Summary of Necessary Parameter Estimates for Sample Size Calculation:** |  Parameter | Value | | --- | --- | |  Significance Level | 0.05 | |  Expected Placebo Mean (from baseline) | 5.6 | |  Expected Treatment Mean | 4.85 | |  Standard Deviation (Common) | 0.85 | |  Power | 80% | | Expected Dropout | 20% | #### **Email me this example in PDF format** **Step 1: **Search for the** Two Sample Student’s t-test (equal variances)** from the Select Test Design & Goal window.
