Prediction models for diagnosis and prognosis of covid-19: systematic review and critical appraisal

TL;DR: Proposed models for covid-19 are poorly reported, at high risk of bias, and their reported performance is probably optimistic, according to a review of published and preprint reports.
Journal ArticleDOI

A simple formula for the calculation of sample size in pilot studies

TL;DR: A simple formula is presented to calculate the sample size needed to be able to identify, with a chosen level of confidence, problems that may arise with a given probability.
Journal ArticleDOI

Journal ArticleDOI

Further evidence that culture media affect perinatal outcome: findings after transfer of fresh and cryopreserved embryos

TL;DR: The hypothesis that in vitro culture of embryos during the first few days of preimplantation development affects perinatal outcome of IVF singletons and twins is supported and might be an important factor explaining the poorer perinnatal outcome after assisted reproduction technology (ART).
Journal ArticleDOI
