Some state-level lead implementing partners updated these numbers on a regular basis (every 12 to 18 months) using programme data; others conducted periodic formal size estimation exercises.
The study power calculations based on pharmacometric models historically often rely on simulation and estimation exercises which can be very time consuming and, therefore, not extensively used.
Some state-level lead implementing partners updated these numbers on a regular basis (every 12 to 18 months) using programme data- others conducted formal size estimation exercises; others used programme data [ 24].
