Comparison of sevoflurane with halothane: statistically valid?
Sir,—I read with interest the article by Taivainen and colleagues [1] comparing the effects of sevoflurane and halothane on the quality of anaesthesia and serum glutathione transferase alpha and fluoride in paediatric patients. The authors mentioned the use of the Student's t test or Fisher's exact test for intergroup comparisons of anaesthesia data. They also mentioned the use of analysis of v...
متن کاملSevoflurane compared with halothane for tracheal intubation in children.
We have studied 40 healthy children, aged 3-10 yr, undergoing adenotonsillectomy, in a double-blind, randomized study. Intubating conditions were assessed when the pupils had become small and central after inhalation induction with either 5% halothane and 60% nitrous oxide in oxygen or 8% sevoflurane and 60% nitrous oxide in oxygen. The quality of tracheal intubation was graded according to eas...
متن کاملA statistically valid alternative to the TDT.
OBJECTIVE To present an alternative linkage test to the transmission/disequilibrium test (TDT) which is conservative under the null hypothesis and generally more powerful under alternatives. METHODS The exact distribution of the TDT is examined under both the null hypothesis and relevant alternatives. The TDT is rewritten in an alternate form based on the contributions from each of the three ...
متن کاملIn Search of a Statistically Valid Volatility Risk Factor (revised)
Theory predicts that aggregate volatility ought to be a priced risk factor. In an influential study with more than 1000 citations on Google Scholar, Ang, Hodrick, Xing, and Zhang (2006) propose an ex post factor, FV IX, intended as a proxy for aggregate volatility risk. Their test validating FV IX relies on an OLS regression of portfolio excess returns on FV IX and other independent variables o...
