Statistical methods / analysis
The number of participants required for the primary endpoint is 865.
Confidence level = 0.95
Precision = 0.02
Estimated true proportion = 0.10
n = (1.96^2×0.1×0.9)/0.02^2 =865
Appropriate statistical methods will be used to establish the incidence of cardiac complications and to compare outcomes in patients with and without pre-existing cardiovascular disease. Broadly categorical data will be analysed using student t-test, and continuous variables will be analysed with regression analysis. Where appropriate, survival analysis, including Kaplan-Meier estimates will be used. An interim analysis will be performed when 217 patients (25% of planned sample size) have been enrolled. A subgroup analysis will be performed in patients with suspected hospital-acquired COVID-19.
