To obtain 85% statistical power at p ≤ 0.05, we aimed to recruit 284 patients, allowing for a 10% probability of withdrawal.
During each subsequent period there is a probability of withdrawal from therapy which is assumed to be the same for all treatments [ 16, 17].

The effectiveness of any particular intervention designed to reduce contact rates depends on the initial values selected for the parameters affecting influenza transmission (e.g., contact durations, probability of withdrawal due to severe symptoms), and a limitation of our study is that few data exist on which to base these values.
In December 1946, Greek prime minister Konstantinos Tsaldaris, faced with the probability of British withdrawal, visited Washington to seek American assistance.
