Hi people!
having a little difficulty with this one which I'm sure would be a snap for someone who's done a medical study before... Just need the part "Una potencia del 80%", the rest I'm pretty much set on.
Así para un estudio bilateral con un nivel de significación estadística del 5%, una potencia del 80%, una media de proteína ligada al retinol....
thanks a mil!!!

a power of 80%
The fact that it mentions a statistical study makes me lean towards this option. Here's an example and definition in regard to statistics:

| funny, John, I had been debating between potency and power. I'm still leaning toward potency, but still undecided despite your link! Thanks for your help! |
Peer comment(s):

: Power would be the answer to this one, ie the power of the study to establish the statistical significance.

because of the "del" you can also say;
to an 80% potency or for an 80% potency... segun sea el contexto

I'm not as sure as Carmen, but I believe this should be the term when it comes to drug products. I don´t recall having seen or heard the word "potency" in the pharmaceutical articles I've translated so far.

| thanks for your answer Giovanni! I'm pretty sure it's not strength in this case, as it's referring to a medical study, and not the product itself. I appreciate your help! |

80% effective/an effectiveness of 80%
I was thinking of "Power/Strength" too but how about effective/effectiveness.
Potency - strength, influence or effectiveness.
Potency - strength, influence or effectiveness.
