ABSTRACT
Only well planned and conducted research can answer questions that arise in day-to-day clinical practice. Unfortunately, most studies in India are deficient in design or execution. The results thus obtained are biased and cannot be extrapolated to the population studied. Some important questions which arise during the statistical design of investigations are selection of subjects on which observations are to be made, number of observations falling into different groups, allocation of subjects among different groups, etc. Besides planning and execution, appropriate methods need to be chosen for data analysis beforehand. If the study has been well designed and correctly analysed, the interpretation of results can be fairly simple. The present communication focuses on some issues relating to the planning of investigations in medical research with emphasis on statistical design.
