That's not all - the MJ users had an excess of males,
cigarette smokers and obese people - all increased risks for
myocardial infarction.
These articles rarely show statistical significance and it's
hard to get hold of the full text without paying loads for
it - besides, the full text might not quote p values. I want
to know how statistically significant the association is,
even given the studies obvious weaknesses. I need to know
how to calculate a p value.
If anyone could help it would be of great value to myself
and a number of other PwMS.
Thanks and take care,
