Can you please help me with sample size calculation of a clustered RCT where the outcome is a rate and there is a baseline rate? That is at the beginning of the study both groups will have an outcome rate of 76/1000 days. We will have 23 clusters in each arm and 104 participants per cluster (SD=33) and expecting to follow-up the groups for 1 years. We need to know the minimum detectable difference for 80% power at 5% level with an ICC of 0.01.

I am using the following Stata command but the effect size looks very high.

clustersampsi, rates detectabledifference r1(.076) m(37960) k(23) rho(.01) size_cv(.45) alpha(0.05) beta(0.8) base_correl(0)

 

when I am doing the calculation for a stepped wedged RCT with 3 steps (3 months duration) it is coming much lower.
steppedwedge, rates detectabledifference complete(1) vartotal(1) r1(.076) m(9360) k(12) rho(.01) alpha(0.05) beta(0.8) steps(3)

 

The difference is very high. I want to cross-check this with a SAS program.

What is ANOVA?

ANOVA, or Analysis Of Variance, is used to compare the averages or means of two or more populations to better understand how they differ. Watch this tutorial for more.
