Abstract
With this article, we want to emphasize the limits of statistics with little samples, a condition very common in our speciality, focusing in the most usual mistakes in the interpretation of the p-value. Finally, as conclusion, we simulate a clinical study to look what may be a more apropiate boarding.
Con estas líneas, queremos reflejar las limitaciones que tiene el uso de la estadística con pequeños volúmenes de muestra, algo habitual en nuestras series y los errores más habituales que se cometen por interpretación errónea de la p. Planteamos como conclusión una serie de recomendaciones en base a un estudio simulado.
