Previous reviews have shown that co-primary endpoints are common in pragmatic trials but infrequently recognized in sample size or power calculations. While methods for power analysis based on $K$ ($K\geq 2$) binary co-primary endpoints are available for CRTs, to our knowledge, methods for continuous co-primary endpoints are not yet…
