To identify the most commonly used biostatistical concepts and tests in three journals read by family physicians. DESIGN: Descriptive study of the biostatistical content of 12 issues of the Canadian Medical Association Journal (CMAJ), Canadian Family Physician (CFP), and the New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM). MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Frequency of citations of concepts and tests, and Spearman's correlation coefficients comparing the biostatistical profiles of the three journals. RESULTS: Biostatistical content of NEJM was diverse (on average, 39 concepts and 21 tests per issue). In CFP, we found 10 concepts and four tests per issue. In CMAJ, there were, on average, nine concepts and five tests per issue. CONCLUSIONS: The journals' profiles (order of importance of concepts and tests) were fairly similar.
确定家庭医生阅读的三种期刊中最常用的生物统计学概念和检验方法。
对《加拿大医学协会杂志》（CMAJ）、《加拿大家庭医生》（CFP）和《新英格兰医学杂志》（NEJM）12期的生物统计学内容进行描述性研究。
概念和检验方法的引用频率，以及比较三种期刊生物统计学概况的斯皮尔曼相关系数。
NEJM的生物统计学内容多样（每期平均有39个概念和21种检验方法）。在CFP中，我们发现每期有10个概念和4种检验方法。在CMAJ中，每期平均有9个概念和5种检验方法。
这些期刊的概况（概念和检验方法的重要性顺序）相当相似。
