Medical research needs statistical analyses to understand the reality of variable phenomena. There are numerous studies showing poor statistical reporting in many journals with different rankings, in different countries. Our aim was to assess the reporting of statistical analyses in original papers published in Clujul Medical journal in the year 2014.
All original articles published in Clujul Medical in the year 2014 were assessed using mainly Statistical Analyses and Methods in the Published Literature guidelines.
The most important issues found in reporting statistical analyses were reduced reporting of: assumptions checking, difference between groups or measures of associations, confidence intervals for the primary outcomes, and errors in the statistical test choice or the descriptive statistic choice for several analyses. These results are similar with other studies assessing different journals worldwide.
Statistical reporting in Clujul Medical, like in other journals, have to be improved.
医学研究需要进行统计分析,以了解各种可变现象的实际情况。有大量研究表明,在不同国家、不同排名的许多期刊中,统计报告质量欠佳。我们的目的是评估2014年发表在《克卢日医学》杂志上的原创论文的统计分析报告情况。
主要依据《已发表文献中的统计分析与方法》指南,对2014年发表在《克卢日医学》上的所有原创文章进行评估。
在统计分析报告中发现的最重要问题包括:假设检验报告减少、组间差异或关联度量报告减少、主要结局的置信区间报告减少,以及多项分析中统计检验选择或描述性统计选择存在错误。这些结果与全球其他评估不同期刊的研究结果相似。
与其他期刊一样,《克卢日医学》的统计报告必须加以改进。
