Abstract:
The major intent of this article is to describe the availability and potential use of large-scale databases; however, it is first essential to know and understand the basic principles involved in the conduct and interpretation of observational outcomes studies. In this article, the authors briefly overview the design of observational outcomes studies as applied to critical care medicine. Then, criteria for evaluating data sources and for in-depth reviewing of the available data sources from which these observational studies can be conducted are discussed.

Critical Region, Critical Values and Significance Level
In hypothesis testing, a sample statistic is converted to a test statistic using z, t, or chi-square distribution. A critical region is an area under the curve in probability distributions demarcated by the critical value. When the test statistic falls in this region, it suggests that the null hypothesis must be rejected. As this region contains all those values of the...
