Objective: To evaluate the applications and problems of statistical methods for articles published in《Chinese Circulation Journal》. Methods: We reviewed the statistical methods for original articles published in《Chinese Circulation Journal》in 2010, 2011 and 2015; general status with problems was analyzed and the situations were compared among different years. Results: A total of 404 articles were enrolled, statistical hypothesis testing was performed in 366 of them, 32 had descriptive statistics only and 6 articles were meta-analysis. The most frequently used statistical methods were student'st-test (57.4%), followed by chi-squared analysis (56.7%), analysis of variance (35.2%) and regression analysis (23.0%). The main statistical problems in Methods included in described method un-matched to really used method and insufifcient or wrong description. The proportion of insufifcient or wrong description in 2010 and 2011 was 36.6% (71/194), while in 2015 was 26.2% (55/210),P=0.02. The major wrong application of statistical approach was ignoring design with improper method and using unsatisifed precondition for speciifc analysis. The proportion of improper statistical method application in 2010 and 2011 was 19.1% (33/173), in 2015 was 19.7% (38/193),P=0.88. Conclusion: The quality of statistics was improved in 2015 than 2010 and 2011 for articles published in《Chinese Circulation Journal》; while there were still problems at certain degree, enhanced statistical review should be conducted in medical journals.

Objective To assess incidence rate of different types of cement leakage in percutaneous kyphoplasty (PKP) with or without intravertebral clefts and to determine whether basivertebral foramen could be connected with intravertebral cleft.Methods 270 vertebrae in 224 consecutive patients who underwent percutaneous kyphoplasty for treatment of osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures were classified into two groups on preoperative radiographs,computed tomography scans,and/or magnetic resonance images of the treated levels:Cleft group with an intravertebral cleft in vertebral body and trabecular group without intravertebral clefts.On direct postoperative images,the patterns of cement leakage were classified as 5 types:through a cortical defect into paraspinal soft tissues (type A),through the basivertebral foramen (type B),via the needle channel (type C),through a cortical defect into the disc space (type D),via the paravertebral vein (type E).The incidence of different types of cement leakage between two groups was analyzed.Results In 72 of 270 vertebrae,an intravertebral cleft was confirmed on preoperative images.Leaks through basivertebral foramen as type B (42,15.5%) and through cortical defects into the disc space as type D leaks (21,7.8%) were more common than other types.The incidence of type B leakage in the cleft group (23.6%) was higher than the incidence in the trabecular group (12.6%),which made a statistical significance (P=0.028).There was no statistical difference between the trabecular pattern and the cleft pattern on other types of leaks.Conclusion Type B leaks were more common in vertebrae with the presence of an intravertebral cleft,which support the presence of the connection between an intravertebral cleft and the basivertebral foramen.Thus,care must be taken when PKP was performed in these patients to avoid cement leakage into spinal canal through basivertebral foramen directly.
