We compared baseline characteristics between new users of clarithromycin and azithromycin using standardised differences.
The magnitude of the observed effects was assessed using standardised differences (effect size statistics) with a customised Excel-based spreadsheet.
Because of the large sample size, we anticipated that even clinically insignificant differences between baseline variables could be statistically significant and therefore described baseline variables using standardised differences.
We assessed differences in baseline characteristics between donors and non-donors using standardised differences.
The magnitude of the observed effects for each comparison described above was assessed using standardised differences (effect size statistics) with a customised Excel-based spreadsheet.
Intervention effects were described using standardised differences between group means and 95% confidence intervals.
We compared the balance in covariates before and after matching using standardised differences.
The authors will synthesise each outcome of the studies for the three models using standardised mean differences.
We evaluated the effect of local anaesthetic on pain relief in outpatient hysteroscopy using standardised mean differences (SMD).
Quantitative synthesis using standardised mean differences was conducted on comparable outcomes across trials with similar interventions.
