Generally, the more precisely defined the outcome, the higher the diagnosis sensitivity [ 19], and detected effectiveness.
A proxy with a low sensitivity may fail to detect the effectiveness of asthma treatment that works for mild but not for severe asthma cases.
There will be power of 80% (α=0.05) to detect vaccine effectiveness against laboratory-confirmed influenza in infancy of at least 40% assuming cumulative incidence among the unvaccinated cohort of 2.3% for laboratory-confirmed influenza in infants up to 6 months of age and average vaccine uptake in pregnancy of 30%, both calculated over the 4-year study period.
As the number of malicious nodes increases, then the detecting effectiveness reduces up to 64% for 50% misbehaving nodes.
GPs have to collaborate more consistently with specialists and public health managers in producing evidence and recommendations, in line with the aim to gain a more patient-centered clinical practice, providing longitudinal studies, aimed at detecting the effectiveness of treatment of dementia, recruiting very old patients and considering comorbidity.

Our study aimed to detect the real effectiveness of dogs trained to locate human cadaveric blood in very low concentrations, through an optimized and rigorously controlled design which would rule out any possible sources of bias.
The large sample size, over 10 000 mother infant pairs, with recruitment spread over four influenza seasons will provide sufficient power to detect a vaccine effectiveness of at least 40% against laboratory-confirmed influenza in infants.
