Statistical reporting in Indian Pediatrics.
We analyzed 45 original articles from Indian Pediatrics for appropriateness of the statistical methods. Appropriate statistical tests (93%), no use of obscure test and use of exact P value were the positive findings observed. Sample size was calculated in 24% and confidence interval in 13%. There is a need to generate awareness regarding confidence interval and sample size calculations.
