Statistical methods / analysis
Primary analysis by two-tailed bivariate correlation of HbA1c with length of stay using a Pearsons product-moment correlation coefficient as both variables are interval type. Using an Alpha error of 0.05, a Beta error of 0.95, and a correlation coefficient of 0.5, sample size was calculated at 38 participants in each of the total knee and total hip arms of the study.
