Our finding was similar to some previous studies (Smith et al, 2008; Hayashi et al, 2010; Melis et al, 2011; Scarpa et al, 2012), including one meta-analysis based on small sample size (Kayani et al, 2012).
Prevalence estimates among young Australian women range from 3%to5%5% in community-based samples [ 2, 3], but these estimates are based on small sample sizes with limited precision.
Only one published estimate of test-retest reliability is available for the GPAS, based on small sample sizes [ 11].
These results nonetheless are based on small sample size and a cross-sectional design.
The approach also gives more insight into the considerable uncertainty in failure rate estimates based on small sample sizes.
However, direct comparisons between doctors' and nurses' views are scarce and are often based on small sample sizes.
Prof Anne Green of the Institute for Employment Research at Warwick University said figures that break down unemployment into age groups are based on small sample sizes and should be treated carefully.
Existing models, however, are based on small sample sizes and ignore the importance of the tail region for analyses and design.
The original norms are inadequate for several age groups because they were based on small sample sizes and may have been compromised by ceiling effects.
The relatively low frequency of some comorbid Axis I disorders is based on small sample size and therefore may be vulnerable to type II error.
Many previous studies of agreement in identifying placental histopathologic lesions have been based on small sample sizes, and none has examined whether individual histologic features cluster robustly together within and between observers.
