Reply to Indigenous people are less likely to survive the year after an ICU admission. 12 months after being admitted to intensive care, an Indigenous person is more likely to have died than a non-Indigenous person, according to Australian research. by MistWeaver80
"It is likely that the difference is less directly attributable to the ICU admission than to a complex interplay between pre- and post-hospitalisation factors, socio-economic disadvantage, remoteness, and chronic disease trajectory. Primary and public health interventions for preventing and managing chronic disease could reduce the incidence of early death... Possible explanations include more rapid disease progression and restricted access to pre- and post-ICU care in public and primary health care."

Reply to comment by gudamor in A study on volleyball players found that caffeinated chewing gum significantly improved attack accuracy compared to placebo. However, this did not improve results in jumping tests, running tests, and other volleyball specific-skills, including speed tests and accuracy during the volleyball serve by glawgii
Wow, you're right. I read the paper fully expecting them to write something about multiple comparisons but nope, there's nothing at all. And the p value that made it through that barrier of probability was .02. Naturally.
