Infection control research shows limited statistical application. Recommendations include detailed reporting of statistical methods, confidence intervals, and nonresponse bias for improved research integrity and reproducibility.

Area of Science:

  • Infection Control
  • Biostatistics
  • Medical Research Methodology

Background:

  • A review of AJIC volumes from 1990-1992 indicated modest utilization of statistical methods in infection control research.
  • Analysis focused on common statistical approaches to identify areas for improvement.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the application of statistical methods in infection control research.
  • To provide recommendations for enhancing statistical reporting in scientific publications.

Main Methods:

  • Content analysis of statistical reporting in published research articles.
  • Identification of commonly used statistical tests and reporting practices.

Main Results:

  • Statistical methods were modestly employed in the reviewed infection control literature.

  • Specific recommendations were formulated for improving statistical reporting standards.

    • Conclusions:

    • Enhanced statistical reporting, including confidence intervals and nonresponse bias, is crucial for robust infection control research.
    • Clearer descriptions of statistical methods are needed in all research articles and survey data reports.
