Of 128 articles in Volume 63 (1982) of the Archives of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation 48 (37.5%) utilized some form of statistical methodology. The most commonly encountered methods were: mean (with or without standard deviation or standard error); analysis of variance (ANOVA); t-tests; simple correlation/linear regression; and chi-square analysis. A critical review of the analytic statistics used in 40 of these articles revealed that only 23 (57.5%) were considered satisfactory in descriptive and methodologic terms. The most frequently encountered deficiencies were: inadequate description of methods; misuse of t-tests; absence of appropriately complex statistical analysis. A greater understanding of and familiarity with biostatistics is essential for all readers of the Archives to allow critical evaluation of the rehabilitation literature.
《物理医学与康复档案》第63卷（1982年）中的128篇文章中，有48篇（37.5%）使用了某种形式的统计方法。最常遇到的方法有：均值（有或无标准差或标准误）；方差分析（ANOVA）；t检验；简单相关/线性回归；以及卡方分析。对其中40篇文章所使用的分析统计方法进行的批判性审查显示，从描述和方法学角度来看，只有23篇（57.5%）被认为是令人满意的。最常遇到的不足之处有：方法描述不充分；t检验使用不当；缺乏适当复杂的统计分析。对于《档案》的所有读者而言，更深入地理解和熟悉生物统计学对于批判性评估康复文献至关重要。
