Table 2.

Required duration of enrollment to achieve > 80% power

Duration of enrollment (years)a
Trial design
 Parallel NAb
 Traditional stepped-wedge
  6-month transition 6
  3-month transition 5.25
 Hybrid stepped-wedge
  6-month transition 4.75
  3-month transition 4.5

aDuration of enrollment is the approximate number of years required to achieve > 80% power to detect an increase from 40% to 51% in the rate of survival with favorable neurologic outcome

bIn this context, a parallel design cannot achieve 80% power, regardless of the duration of enrollment
