Efficacy
Statistical methods / analysis
The number needed to detect a difference of 50% magnitude in difference in hole closure is 13 subjects in each arm (power of 80% and confidence interval of 95%). Assuming a rate of non-closure in observation group to be 6% and rate of non-closure in CAI treated group to be 50%, the number needed to treat would be 2.3 patients.
