Sample size
To our knowledge, CFQ has never been tested in close proximity to
diagnosis of pre-eclampsia previously. Previous publications have
demonstrated a mean score for women with eclampsia of 44 with an SD of
16 and for women with previously normal pregnancy a mean of 36 with an
SD between 11-14 when testing has been conducted years after
pregnancy.17, 18 With an alpha value of 0.05 and power
of 0.80, the sample size would be 25-60 in each group. For the MoCa test
there are, to the best of our knowledge, no publications in the field of
pre-eclampsia.
