Overall and cause ‐specific mortality in the Sentinel system: A power analysis

ConclusionsThis was the first study to investigate mortality data in the Sentinel death tables. We found that all ‐cause mortality appeared well powered for use as a safety outcome and cause‐specific mortality outcomes may be adequately powered in certain circumstances. Further investigation into the quality of the Sentinel death data is needed.
