STATISTICAL ANALYSIS/ RESULTS Power Calculation: Based on the cure rates of the phase II clinical trial on the efficacy of the apple cider vinegar vs salicylic lactic acid in the treatment of common warts, which yielded 36% and 74%, and setting alpha at 0.05, sample size of at least 51 lesions per group has 98% power.

On either group, most of the patients are female (A = 77%, B = 52%). The mean age of the patients who received apple- cide r vineg ar treat ment is 22.6 8 + 15.8 years, while those ofthe patients who received salicylic-lactic acid treatment is 24.61 + 15.5 years. 104 common warts in 45 patients were included in the study. 53 common warts in 22 patients were subjected to Apple Cider Vinegar treatment while 51 common warts in 23 patients were subjected to Salicylic-Lactic Acid treatment. In the apple cider group, the mean number of warts per patient was 2.41 + 1.9. In the salicylic- lactic acid group, the mean number of warts per patient was 2.22 + 1.9. Three patients (two from apple-cider group, one from salicylic-lactic acid group) with a total of four common warts (3 from apple cider group, 1 from salicylic-lactic acid group) were not able to comply with the 4-week maximum clinical trial.
