Introduction: A proper sample size calculation enables to conduct adequately powered randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and to provide a valid assessment of a specific clinical question.
Areas Covered: In the current manuscript, we tried to provide the reader with an easy guide on the principles of sample size calculation in RCTs, tailored specifically to the context of gastroenterology and hepatology. The basics of sample size calculation were commented with a description of some of the main methods, including the calculation of the non-inferiority margin for non-inferiority RCTs and the calculation of the minimum clinically important difference (MCID).
