Statistical Inferences Using Effect Sizes in Human Endothelial Function Research.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Magnitudes of change in endothelial function research can be articulated using effect size statistics. Effect sizes are commonly used in reference to Cohen's seminal guidelines of small (d = 0.2), medium (d = 0.5), and large (d = 0.8). Quantitative analyses of effect size distributions across various research disciplines have revealed values differing from Cohen's original recommendations. Here we examine effect size distributions in human endothelial function research, and the magnitude of small, medium, and large effects for macro and microvascular endothelial function.

Methods

Effect sizes reported as standardized mean differences were extracted from meta research available for endothelial function. A frequency distribution was constructe
