Abstract

Letter: Cheung and colleagues warned that underpowered studies that committed a type II error will discourage clinicians from using effective treatment.1 I agreed with this argument. Because the number of published clinical trials on coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) patients has been increasing rapidly, I have reviewed all these trials published between Jan. 1, 2020, and Mar. 25, 2020, and indexed in PubMed, and assessed the quality of their sample size calculation.
