Abstract

"The authors interpret the high P value derived from their Student t test of case/control data as meaningful evidence of a lack of relation between CSF CRH and new-onset PPD. We urge readers to consider the alternative view that, with only 6 cases, the P value does not provide meaningful insight that would justify this interpretation."
