Sigrid Junkermann: 6:01am Oct 3, 2007: More info - The German text states:
Angaben zur Fallzahlberechnung - Stichprobenumfang. The latter is clearly sample size, but what is the former? Сергей Лузан: 6:31am Oct 3, 2007: 'sample size evaluation' might be another option http://www.google.ru/search?hl=en&lr=&newwindow=1&as_qdr=all... Сергей Лузан: 6:35am Oct 3, 2007: or 'sample size assessment' (it depends upon the wider overall context) http://www.google.ru/search?hl=en&lr=&newwindow=1&as_qdr=all... nelblu4: 12:55pm Oct 3, 2007: I do believe that it's "calculation of number of cases." same explanation as in my answer below for "incidence calculation." You can use number of cases or incidence. http://www.dict.cc/?s=fallzahl nelblu4: 3:40pm Oct 3, 2007: Hi, my response was actually one minute before the response you chose (7 minutes). That's why my response is listed as the first response in the "SUMMARY OF ALL ENGLISH TRANSLATIONS PROVIDED." Sigrid Junkermann: 4:17pm Oct 3, 2007: I apologize if I assigned the points wrong, I believe "sample size calculation" is the correct answer here. nelblu4: 4:22pm Oct 3, 2007: when you choose a response, you can slightly modify it. eg. if there are two answers provided, you can delete the one that you find doesn't fit and leave the correct answer before submitting it as the Answer chosen. Sigrid Junkermann: 4:24pm Oct 3, 2007: Thanks Bahar, good to know for next time. I appreciate your input.

sorry, I only meant to write "sample size calculation" as an answer. I don't think this is with regards to the calculation of incidences (in which case the study would have already been conducted and the conclusion might be talking about incidence numbers and how they were calculater... but that can't be the case in an application, I don't think).
