The sample size adequately accounts for ineligible women (e.g. those pregnant; history of hysterectomy; or those recently screened and not recorded in the Registry) and the return to sender received during mailout.
Motivation: Very large studies are required to provide sufficiently big sample sizes for adequately powered association analyses.
The increased error arising from dependence on histological analysis in a limited range of sections can result in a need for increased groups sizes to adequately power studies for statistical analysis, and consequently higher animal use.
Although I have enough data from each clutch size to adequately examine the role of clutch size on mortality in general, some combinations of ovulation order and clutch size are too underrepresented to adequately test this interaction.
Liver histologic changes were not the primary outcome of the study because there were no prior published data to estimate effect size to adequately power the study and calculate sample size to examine improvement in liver histology.
