Abstract
Recent Trends in Utilization of Statistical Methods in Anesthesia Research: 2012-2017
Highlights
Statistics play an integral role in obtaining results and answering research questions
More basic science articles are published in Anesthesiology (42%) than Anesthesia & Analgesia (24%) (P < 0.001), leading to more repeated measures analysis of the variance (ANOVA) being found in Anesthesiology (29% vs. 14%) (P < 0.001)
Our study is the first of its kind, and the results suggest that statistical expertise is found in anesthesia research and will continue to grow, which will improve the rigor and impact of research studies in the specialty and lead to more informed interpretations, understanding, and conclusions from original research
Summary
Statistics play an integral role in obtaining results and answering research questions. More advanced and modern statistical methodologies are important for the researcher to have in their tool box in order to be able to choose the statistical methodology to achieve the most valid results and extract a reasonable answer from the data. While there may be another inferential statistical method that could be implemented to answer the research question at hand, a researcher may opt to implement a betterknown and perhaps less suitable method. It is very important for a research team to be aware of newer statistical methodologies that may improve the quality of their research. Anesthesia research data may be more suitably analyzed using certain statistical methods as opposed to others
