ANALYSIS OF QUANTITATIVE DATA IN THREE OR MORE INDEPENDENT GROUPS USING STATISTICA AND SPSS SOFTWARE: PARAMETRIC AND NON-PARAMETRIC TESTS
In this paper we summarise basic information on comparisons of three and more independent samples using one-way analysis of variance (one-way ANOVA) and non-parametric Kruskal-Wallis test. Detailed algorithms on how the abovementioned tests can be performed using Statistica 10 and SPSS 20 software are presented. Moreover, we describe peculiarities of interpretation of the results of one-way ANOVA and Kruskal-Wallis test. The aim of this article is to provide general information on the abovementioned statistical tests including post-hoc comparisons, but it does not substitute specialise...

ANALYSIS OF QUANTITATIVE DATA IN TWO NON-INDEPENDENT GROUPS USING STATISTICA AND SPSS SOFTWARE: PARAMETRIC AND NON-PARAMETRIC TESTS
In this article we present general information about Student’s paired t-test, non-parametric Wilcoxon test for paires samples and sign test which are often used for comparing paired numerical data. Algoritms for the use of all abovementioned criteria using Statistica 10 and SPSS 20 software are presented as well as recommendations on how to interpret results of the tests. This article covers basic knowledge needed for practical implementation of tests for paired observations (continuopus data) and does not substitute reading specialized literature in biostatistics and clinical epidemio...

INDICATORS OF RATIONAL DRUG USE
Pharmacotherapy is the main treatment of the majority of diseases. It influences  clinical outcomes, survival and quality of life of patients. Pharmacotherapy should be effective, safe, efficient, and evidence-based. State expenditures for pharmacotherapy are the fastest growing article of healthcare budgets reaching 40% in some countries. Due to the lack of financial resources and qualified medical assistance, many developing countries apply unreasonable medical interventions including irrational drug therapy, which leads to excessive costs and may have a negative effect onpatie...
