Do histopathologic findings improve by increasing the sample size in cholecystectomies?
BACKGROUND Gallbladder diseases present with cholelithiasis in a wide spectrum of adenomas and cancers. Two or three specimens are sampled in cholecystectomies in routine pathology practice. The aim of this study was to investigate the increase in frequency of histologic alterations in cholecystectomies, particularly precancerous lesions, by increasing the sample size to understand the carcinom...
متن کاملSample size estimation in epidemiologic studies
This review basically provided a conceptual framework for sample size calculation in epidemiologic studies with various designs and outcomes. The formula requirement of sample size was drawn based on statistical principles for both descriptive and comparative studies. The required sample size was estimated and presented graphically with different effect sizes and power of statistical test at 95...
متن کاملThe Effect of Sample Size on Cognitive Interview Findings
An often-mentioned strength of cognitive interview pretesting is its ability to identify most question problems using a few interviews. However, this is not based on empirical research. We report a study investigating how the number of cognitive interviews affects the number of problems identified by conducting a 90 interviews, drawing samples of size 5 through size 50 from the pool of 90 inter...
متن کاملHistopathologic features and frequency of gall bladder lesions in consecutive 540 cholecystectomies.
The frequency of gall bladder lesions in cholecystectomies is not clear. The purpose of the present study is to report the morphologies and frequency of gall bladder diseases and lesions of 540 cholecystectomies in the last 10 years in our pathology laboratory. The age of patients ranged from 18 years to 93 years with a mean of 64.75 ±14.43 years. Male to female ratio was 213:327. Of these, 518...
متن کاملSample Size Growth with an Increasing Number of Comparisons
An appropriate sample size is crucial for the success of many studies that involve a large number of comparisons. Sample size formulas for testing multiple hypotheses are provided in this paper. They can be used to determine the sample sizes required to provide adequate power while controlling familywise error rate or false discovery rate, to derive the growth rate of sample size with respect t...
