|
Objectives: This study was performed to review the use of statistical analysis methods for the Traditional Korean Medicine studies listed on the Korea Citation Index from 1999 to 2008.
Methods: A total of 4217 studies published on four journals of Traditional Korean Medicine were screened and 2682 articles using statistical methods were selected for the review. The selected studies were analysed according to their published year, statistical method and statistical package for use.
Results: Statistical methods were used steadily in 64.6% of the articles after 2001, the most used statistical methods(57%) were mean difference comparison between 2 groups. The number of statistical methods mostly used in one article was identified as one in 1931 articles (72.0%). Duncan (36.8%) and Tukey (26.5%) were used for the ANOVA post hoc analysis. SPSS was most frequently used 68% out of Statistical package programs.(the number of mean difference comparison among more than 3 groups was continuously increasing and that makes post hoc being used. skills of statistical methods need to be diversified.)
Conclusion: The interest on the proper use of statistical analysis in the research is increasing. This study will contribute to the Evidence-based Teaching on research methodology in Traditional Korean Medicine.
