caused by illness, treatment, or malnutrition.
What are the consequences of muscle wasting 1. More severe toxicity of treatment 2. Reduced
according to observational studies? functional status 3. Reduced quality of life (QoL) 4.
Reduced survival.
What is the importance of interventions aiming at Clinical outcomes may be improved by interventions
preserving muscle mass in clinical outcomes? aiming at preserving muscle mass.
What is the significance of sufficient protein intake Sufficient protein intake, next to an adequate
and adequate physical activity in inducing muscle physical activity, is of critical importance in inducing
protein anabolism? muscle protein anabolism.
What is the scientific relevance gap in the research What is already known about this topic.
question/aim?
What is the purpose of a sample size calculation? To determine the number of participants needed in
a study to ensure adequate statistical power and
minimize the risk of false conclusions.
What are the two factors that need to be considered The desired power of the study (1-ß) and the
when determining the desired power of a study? desired significance level (α).
What is the significance level in a sample size The significance level is the probability of falsely
calculation? concluding that there is an intervention effect when
there is none (false positive).
What is the clinically relevant difference in a sample The clinically relevant difference is the difference in
size calculation? the outcome variable that is considered meaningful
from a clinical perspective.
Why is it important to consider the variance of the The variance of the outcome variable is important
outcome variable in a sample size calculation? because it affects the precision of the study and the
number of participants needed to detect a
significant difference.
What is the desired significance level for preventing 5%-accepting a chance of 0.05 to detect an effect in
a type I error? your study that is not present in the whole
population (false positive).
What is the clinically relevant (or expected) Which difference or which effect are you trying to
difference (v)? find? - from literature.
,What is the expected variance/standard deviation How much variation is expected in subjects
(σ)? belonging to the same study group? - from pilot data
or literature.
What is the attrition rate? Anticipate on the number of included subjects who
will not be available for the study analysis -
expected drop-out/withdrawal from previous
studies. e.g. if 10% drop-out is expected: divide
number needed by 0.9.
What are the differences in means? Difference in body weight change between groups,
difference in survival time between groups.
What are the differences in proportions? Difference in proportions (%) with a certain weight
loss between groups, difference in proportions (%)
1-year survival between groups. Improvement in
overall survival would be most important!
What is the mechanism of action of loop diuretics? Inhibition of Na+ and Cl- reabsorption.

before treatment toxicity/quality of life/survival?
How is the effect on muscle mass measured? On CT scan.
What is a Type I error? Falsely rejecting H0.
,What is a Type II error? Falsely accepting H0.

What are the criteria for research to be subject to It concerns medical scientific research and
WMO? participants are subject to procedures or required to
follow rules of behavior that may infringe on their

aims to protect humans through ethical principles,
protection of personal information, safety
procedures, etc.
