Statistical methods are increasingly used in ophthalmology research. A review of ophthalmic journals found that while most articles use statistics, a basic understanding of common techniques ensures broad accessibility.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Biostatistics

Background:

  • The application of statistical analysis in ophthalmology has grown over time.
  • Evaluating the trends in statistical methodology is crucial for research interpretation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To determine the frequency and types of statistical techniques employed in major ophthalmic journals.
  • To assess the 'statistical accessibility' of research for readers familiar with common methods.

Main Methods:

  • A review of 974 original articles published in 1970, 1980, and 1990 across three leading ophthalmic journals.
  • Analysis of statistical content in 592 articles from 1990, categorizing techniques used.

Main Results:

  • In 1990, 66.0% of articles contained statistical methods, with measures of central tendency (65.0%) and dispersion (50.3%) being most frequent.

  • Familiarity with 10 statistical techniques provided accessibility to 88.9% of 1990 articles.
  • Significant differences in statistical method usage were observed across journals (P = .0003).

    • Conclusions:

    • While statistical methods are prevalent in ophthalmology, a core set of techniques covers the majority of research.
    • Understanding common statistical approaches enhances reader comprehension of ophthalmic literature.
