French term

puissance supérieure à 90 %

French to English Medical Medical: Pharmaceuticals
From a clinical drug trial. Here's the complete sentence:

La taille de l’échantillon résultant est de 124 patients dans chacun des groupes mentionnés ci-dessus (à savoir, brexpiprazole 2 mg/jour, brexpiprazole 1 mg/jour et placebo), ce qui peut donner globalement une puissance supérieure à 90 % (au moins un groupe de dose supérieure est significatif).

Could I use "potency" here for "puissance" (higher than 90% potency / above 90% potency)?

thanks

The power of a statistical test is the probability that the test will reject the null hypothesis when the alternative hypothesis is true (i.e. the probability of not committing a Type II error).

However, when we combined the data across several experiments giving a sample size of sixty-two participants per group (and a statistical power of over .80)

In addition, AtheroGenics has proposed a decrease in the target number of clinical events from 1,160 to approximately 1,000. This revised target number will continue to yield greater than 95 percent statistical power to detect a 20 percent difference in clinical events between the study arms.

I'd use one of these alternates.
