How to report statistics in medicine?
Michelle Secic
Secic Statistical Consulting, Inc., USA
I
suspect you do not have the time or desire to learn all the nuances, formulae and theories in statistical computations. You
just want to know what tests/methods to use for your study and what needs to be reported. Whether you are reporting
results to the FDA or in the medical literature or to upper management, etc., you will need to ensure you are reporting your
results accurately, for your type of study. You can think of my guidelines as Cliff ’s Notes for reporting statistics in medicine.
This is just a small snapshot of the comprehensive guide. I will discuss the following three common study objectives: 1. Group
Comparison, 2. Performance Goal, 3. Identify Risk Factors. For each of the three common study objectives, I will first present
examples of accurately stating the objectives. Second, I will provide a comprehensive template for reporting the results from
each of the three types of studies. The templates will include relevant medical examples, numeric results, statistical findings,
tests/methods, etc. Finally, I will provide the full list of concepts covered in my guidelines.
