Análisis comparativo de tres revistas de Anestesiología en cuanto al uso de la estadística y accesibilidad de los artículos originales publicados

As a result of marked advances in the use of statistics in anesthesiology journals, readers are seeing more applications of higher-level statistics. Readers must therefore acquire greater knowledge of statistics in order to understand the methods used in original research publications. The results we report for analysis-dependent accessibility show that Revista Española de Anestesiología y Reanimación is easier to understand for readers with knowledge of middle-level statistics. BothAnesthesiology and the British Journal of Anaesthesia publish articles that apply more complex statistical analyses.
