Covariate: statistical vs clinical

From: bvatul@ufl.edu Subject: Covariate: statistical vs clinical Date: Thu, 18 Jan 2001 22:42:07 -0500 Hello All Could some one please clarify my query: 1. How to distinguish between statistically significant and clinically significant covariate? 2. In actual clinical situations where there are many confounding variables (concurrent medications etc) how reliable are covariate estimates in these cases? Thanks a lot Atul
