TY - JOUR T1 - THe necessity for statistical precision—reply AU - Ballew C, Kuester S, Gillespie C Y1 - 2001/05/01 N1 - 10.1001/archpedi.155.5.618 JO - Archives of Pediatrics & Adolescent Medicine SP - 619 EP - 620 VL - 155 IS - 5 N2 - Dr Baker is correct in pointing out that the OR should be raised to a power of 8 rather than multiplied by 8 to extrapolate from 1 oz of a beverage to 8 oz of a beverage. This change in no way alters the interpretation of our results, that drinking a glass of milk has a very profound positive effect on calcium intake, and drinking a glass of a carbonated bev erage has a small but nevertheless statistically significant negative effect. In fact, the corrected extrapolations make our point even more strongly. SN - 1072-4710 M3 - doi: 10.1001/archpedi.155.5.618 UR - http://dx.doi.org/10.1001/archpedi.155.5.618 ER -
