Lowering the P Value Threshold

Lowering the #pvalue threshold for phase 3 RCTs is inappropriate, as high prior probability of replication (68%) leads to high positive predictive values (97%) when p=0.05

The association between previous and future severe exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease: Updating the literature using robust statistical methodology.

Using robust statistical methodology that controlled for heterogeneity in exacerbation rates among individuals, we demonstrated potential causal associations among past and future severe exacerbations, albeit the magnitude of association was noticeably low...

The “Lost NNT” can be used to represent uncertainty surrounding number needed to treat

Currently, confidence interval is the standard way of communicating uncertainty around the number needed to treat (NNT). But the CI is not directly relevant to the treatment decision.Uncertainty around treatment only matters because it may result in the ch...
