Sample size formulae in Hajian-Tilaki K. Sample size estimation in diagnostic test studies for biomedical informatics. Journal of Biomedical Informatics 2014; 48: 193–204 [22]. * Discrepancy between sample size calculation (931) and number of reviewed health records (962) is due to available resources allowing for the revision and inclusion of 31 additional random records.
