Anatomical Results

We have to go through the statistical analysis to really say something valuable and these are the statistical studies that have been performed for the anatomical results in order to find the best predictors for anatomical success. You see all the variables that were considered and among them only some resulted significant predictors.

You are now wondering which is the winning dye, which is the best. Here is the graph NO, NO PLEASE WAIT AND DON’T WITHDRAW ANY WRONG CONCLUSION ! I know you already making classifications. You should not look at the black line but at the red bars. If we draw this green line you notice that the red bar intersect. Do you know what does this mean in statistical language?

The following graph is telling us the same information, which is that the position strict is correlated to high success rate and it gives an additional information about DURATION:a. The position strict associated to a complete tamponade is successful at any duration of positioning, at one day and at 14 days. this is interesting because it is telling us that is it not necessary to position for long time.b. Top right you see that the position strict is also efficient with incomplete tamponade at any duration. However look at the red bars: they tell you that this data is less reliable.c. On bottom left you see that if you keep the position DON’T LOOK UP with a complete tamponade, the success is very high, but only with a DURATION of 4-5 days.d. Same concept if you tell the patient DON’T LOOK UP with an incomplete tamponade.
