[Estimating effect sizes in clinical trials].
Even though reporting of effect sizes is recommended in methodological guidelines such as the CONSORT Statement (Consolidated Standard of Reporting Trials), these quantities are still rarely included in reports on studies in rehabilitation medicine. The aim of this paper is to emphasize the relevance of reporting effect sizes and to illustrate different methods for their calculation. The implications of using different methods for calculating effect sizes are also discussed.
