Descriptive statistics for cardiothoracic surgeons: part 2 - the foundation of data interpretation.
Descriptive statistics are essential for summarizing and interpreting clinical data in cardiothoracic surgery. Understanding measures of central tendency and dispersion, such as mean, median, range, variance, and standard deviation, provides insights into patient outcomes and surgical effectiveness. Confidence intervals offer a range for population parameters, enhancing decision-making precision. Data visualization tools like histograms, box plots, and scatter plots illustrate distributions and relationships. Interpreting tables and figures accurately, recognizing biases, and evaluating statistical validity are crucial for applying research findings to clinical practice. These statistical tools ultimately support evidence-based practice and ensure informed decision-making by clinicians.
期刊介绍：
The primary aim of the Indian Journal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery is education. The journal aims to dissipate current clinical practices and developments in the area of cardiovascular and thoracic surgery. This includes information on cardiovascular epidemiology, aetiopathogenesis, clinical manifestation etc. The journal accepts manuscripts from cardiovascular anaesthesia, cardiothoracic and vascular nursing and technology development and new/innovative products.The journal is the official publication of the Indian Association of Cardiovascular and Thoracic Surgeons which has a membership of over 1000 at present.DescriptionThe journal is the official organ of the Indian Association of Cardiovascular-Thoracic Surgeons. It was started in 1982 by Dr. Solomon Victor and ws being published twice a year up to 1996. From 2000 the editorial office moved to Delhi. From 2001 the journal was extended to quarterly and subsequently four issues annually have been printed out at time and regularly without fail. The journal receives manuscripts from members and non-members and cardiovascular surgeons. The manuscripts are peer reviewed by at least two or sometimes three or four reviewers who are on the panel. The manuscript process is now completely online. Funding the journal comes partially from the organization and from revenue generated by subscription and advertisement.
