Based on a predicted sample size of 150 170 cases (expected number of cases based on STEC cases notified nationally in two preceding years) and an attempted case to control ratio of 1 3, there was sufficient statistical power (at least 80%) at a confidence level of 95% to detect an odds ratio of 3.0, using 5%, 20% and 80% as the expected frequencies of exposure among controls.

A foodborne outbreak is defined in European legislation as "an incidence, observed under given circumstances, of two of more human cases of the same disease and/or infection, or a situation in which the observed number of human cases exceeds the expected number and where the cases are linked, or are probably linked, to the same source" [ 25].
The SMR is defined as the ratio of observed cases and the expected number of deaths.
