Sample size calculations based on day-to-day variability of stress biomarkers in persons with dementia and their family caregivers by Azita Emami, Jeehye Jun, Gabriella Engström, Lars Berglund, Töres Theorell

“…Introduction: Accurate estimates of intra-individual variability are necessary for proper design of clinical trials and epidemiological studies where the stress biomarkers cortisol and dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate (DHEA-S) are measured for dyads of persons with dementia (PWDs) and their family caregivers (FCGs). The aim is to determine the number of consecutive sampling days required to detect effect differences in clinical trials, and to accurately estimate regression coefficients in epidemiological studies where stress biomarkers are exposure variables in regression models with future disease as outcome. …”
