A trial to detect a 4% reduction in mortality with 80% power would require a total sample size of around 3500 (i.e. approximately 1745 patients in each arm).
The number of participants required in each arm of a trial to detect a standardized difference of 0.78 with 80% power using a cutoff for statistical significance of 0.05 is as follows: Thus, 26 participants are required in each arm of the trial, which agrees with the estimate provided by the nomogram.
A simple feasibility check, to determine whether a fixed number of available clusters will enable a trial to detect a required difference at required power, therefore consists of evaluating whether the following inequality holds: (21) for equal cluster sizes [ 2], and (22) for unequal cluster sizes.
