SOLER CARDENAS, Silvio Faustino et al. Uses of Statistics in original papers of Cuban medical journals. Rev.Med.Electrón. [online]. 2019, vol.41, n.6, pp. 1509-1515.  Epub 31-Dez-2019. ISSN 1684-1824.

The authors present preliminary results of the research project “Uses of Statistics in original papers of Cuban medical journals”, corresponding to the program Nr. 2 (Organization, efficacy and quality of the services), codex 152042. The quantitative information of the project was obtained applying a systematic sampling design with randomized onset that provided data on nine statistic variables measured in 170 original papers of Cuban medical journals. Percentage distributions of each variable were calculated. The application of descriptive studies and their correspondent statistical measures predominated. It was evidenced the scarce application of interval estimations, denoting an insufficiency that has to be eliminated. The outcomes provide an approximation to the current status of the statistics application in writing original scientific papers.

Palavras-chave : interval estimation; Cuban medical journals; Statistics application.
