[Statistical notes. Statistical significance and clinical relevance: are they the two sides of the same medal?].
The aim of this statistical note is to draw the attention of the cardiologists to the aspects pertinent to the clinical relevance of the result of a clinical controlled randomized trial. The difference between clinical relevance and statistical significance is shown by using the results of GISSI and GUSTO III clinical controlled randomized trials.
