Abstract:
The proper use of statistics in medical studies is very important to draw an objective conclusion. The misuse and misunderstanding of statistics degrade the quality of scientific results. Authors should make an effort to choose proper statistical procedures and report the results appropriately. In this article, we review and summarize aspects of statistical consideration in preparing for publication in medical journals.
