Content Data

This page contains data entry 5912 from the Axioma AXP content repository. The structured data below represents the complete record for this entry.

I have found the following formula in [Munn et al.](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/25197676/):

𝑁=𝑍\^2𝑃(1βˆ’π‘ƒ)/𝑑\^2

* 𝑁 = sample size * 𝑍 = statistic for a level of confidence * 𝑃 = expected prevalence * 𝑑 = precision

The problem I am finding is that I am trying to use this formula to assess the quality of several studies for a meta-analysis and all the studies I have reviewed so far do not provide a 𝑑 value, but only the total number of subjects, the number of subjects with the disease and the corresponding percentage. These are epidemiological studies on the prevalence of a disease in the general population and there is no exposure, so no comparison between cases in exposed and non-exposed subjects is made. The only data available is how many subjects in the sample exhibit the disease. Is there a way for me to calculate d by only using the information provided in the article?
