Decision trees: helping the postanesthesia nurse to plan data analysis.

Abstract

An important step in the research process is statistical analysis of the data. Data analysis should be planned as variables are identified, as level of measurement is determined, and as research questions or hypotheses are generated. The use of decision trees can assist the PACU nurse in determining which statistical tests are appropriate for the level of variable measurement in the study. The use of decision trees also can assist the PACU nurse when consulting with experts regarding appropriate statistical analysis.

[Clinical management of a patient with alcoholic cirrhosis].

Prolonged abstinence from alcohol is crucial in the management and prognosis of a patient with alcoholic cirrhosis. It is also important to prevent complications such as variceal bleeding, hepatocellular and extrahepatic cancers, and malnutrition. Liver transplantation should be considered in patients with persistent liver failure in spite of complete cessation of alcohol consumption. We provide some recommendations in commonly encountered clinical situations for compensated and decompensated alcoholic cirrhosis.
