Abstract
OBJECTIVE. Pediatric residents are expected to study research design and statistical methods to enable them to critically appraise the pediatric literature and apply the findings to patient care. However, it is not clear how best to teach these skills or even which statistical concepts are most important. An earlier study demonstrated that the statistical complexity of articles published in Pediatrics increased from 1952 to 1982. The goals of our study were to assess whether this trend has continued and to determine the statistical measures and procedures most commonly encountered in Pediatrics.This publication has 18 references indexed in Scilit:
