Sample size justification [Power / Sample Size]
Hii,
for one study (two way crossover) based on sufficient CV, power and ratio we written protocol as 52 participants are sufficient to establish the bioequivalence however based on dropout/withdrawal rate (10%) we conducted study in 62 participants. But at end only 48 participants completed the study. but as per protocol 52 need to establish BE. study outcome is with in 90% CI. How can we justify for 48 participants. Please help me
