I want to review ~1,000 OR cases for one specific procedure to look for patient and surgery characteristics, pre-existing conditions, etc that might predict certain postop complications. Many such articles are published with far too small a number of cases in order to draw any worthwhile conclusions. Can anyone point me to a reference that would describe the statistics behind such an analysis?
