Statistical methods / analysis
The study is powered to demonstrate an effect of abacavir on platelet reactivity in HIV positive adult men. Conservatively assuming a mean 5% increase in platelet activation secondary to abacavir with a standard deviation of 5% (as was demonstrated by Satchell et.al.), we estimate that 23 participants are required to have an 80% power to detect a difference of one standard deviation in mean P-VASP between the baseline and day 15.
