Clarification request(s) and response
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.

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).
