Two papers quoted in this issue of the Indian Journal of Critical Care Medicine report. The results of studies aim to prove that a new intervention is better than (superior to) an existing treatment. In the ABLE study, the investigators wanted to show that transfusion of fresh red blood cells would be superior to standard-issue red cells in reducing 90-day mortality in ICU patients. 1 The PROPPR study was designed to prove that transfusion of a lower ratio of plasma and platelets to red cells would be superior to a higher ratio in decreasing 24-hour and 30-day mortality in critically ill patients. 2 These studies are known as superiority studies (as opposed to noninferiority or equivalence studies which will be discussed in a subsequent article).
A sample represents a group of participants selected from the entire population. Since studies cannot be carried out on entire populations, researchers choose samples, which are representative of the population. This is similar to walking into a grocery store and examining a few grains of rice or wheat before purchasing an entire bag; we assume that the few grains that we select (the sample) are representative of the entire sack of grains (the population).
The results of the study are then extrapolated to generate inferences about the population. We do this using a process known as hypothesis testing. This means that the results of the study may not always be identical to the results we would expect to find in the population; i.e., there is the possibility that the study results may be erroneous.
A clinical trial begins with an assumption or belief, and then proceeds to either prove or disprove this assumption. In statistical terms, this belief or assumption is known as a hypothesis. Counterintuitively, what the researcher believes in (or is trying to prove) is called the “alternate” hypothesis, and the opposite is called the “null” hypothesis; every study has a null hypothesis and an alternate hypothesis. For superiority studies, the alternate hypothesis states that one treatment (usually the new or experimental treatment) is superior to the other; the null hypothesis states that there is no difference between the treatments (the treatments are equal). For example, in the ABLE study, we start by stating the null hypothesis—there is no difference in mortality between groups receiving fresh RBCs and standard-issue RBCs. We then state the alternate hypothesis—There is a difference between groups receiving fresh RBCs and standard-issue RBCs. It is important to note that we have stated that the groups are different, without specifying which group will be better than the other. This is known as a two-tailed hypothesis and it allows us to test for superiority on either side (using a two-sided test). This is because, when we start a study, we are not 100% certain that the new treatment can only be better than the standard treatment—it could be worse, and if it is so, the study should pick it up as well. One tailed hypothesis and one-sided statistical testing is done for non-inferiority studies, which will be discussed in a subsequent paper in this series.
There are two possibilities to consider when interpreting the results of a superiority study. The first possibility is that there is truly no difference between the treatments but the study finds that they are different. This is called a Type-1 error or false-positive error or alpha error. This means falsely rejecting the null hypothesis.
The second possibility is that there is a difference between the treatments and the study does not pick up this difference. This is called a Type 2 error or false-negative error or beta error. This means falsely accepting the null hypothesis.
The power of the study is the ability to detect a difference between groups and is the converse of the beta error; i.e., power = 1-beta error. Alpha and beta errors are finalized when the protocol is written and form the basis for sample size calculation for the study. In an ideal world, we would not like any error in the results of our study; however, we would need to do the study in the entire population (infinite sample size) to be able to get a 0% alpha and beta error. These two errors enable us to do studies with realistic sample sizes, with the compromise that there is a small possibility that the results may not always reflect the truth. The basis for this will be discussed in a subsequent paper in this series dealing with sample size calculation.
Conventionally, type 1 or alpha error is set at 5%. This means, that at the end of the study, if there is a difference between groups, we want to be 95% certain that this is a true difference and allow only a 5% probability that this difference has occurred by chance (false positive). Type 2 or beta error is usually set between 10% and 20%; therefore, the power of the study is 90% or 80%. This means that if there is a difference between groups, we want to be 80% (or 90%) certain that the study will detect that difference. For example, in the ABLE study, sample size was calculated with a type 1 error of 5% (two-sided) and power of 90% (type 2 error of 10%) (1).

There are 85,000 medical malpractice lawsuits filed annually. Among them, 52,190 are summarily dropped for reasons unknown; 26,860 are settled; 1,190 result in plaintiff verdicts, and 4,760 in defense verdicts. Only 33.3% of these lawsuits are likely to have merit, while 66.7% do not. To make matters worse, only one out of every 37.5 claims reviewed by attorneys is represented, meaning that 3,102,500 other claims are abandoned for reasons known only to those attorneys. Of these, one million may have merit. In fact, more potentially meritorious cases are rejected by attorneys than those that proceed. The total litigation cost is $55.6 billion, with two-thirds attributed to frivolous lawsuits. The average cost is approximately $700,000 per lawsuit, and each lawsuit takes about two years to litigate. If nothing else, this is a turbulent sea of uncertainty.
When two-thirds of all decisions are wrong, there is a problem. The issue lies in decision-making. Traditional decision-making in medical malpractice litigation relies on inductive reasoning, which uses generalities, resulting in qualitative outcomes. The fundamental principle here is the “preponderance of evidence.”
All decision-making principles have a “level of confidence,” representing the odds of being right. For the preponderance of evidence, the level of confidence is “50% probability plus a scintilla,” with scintilla being discretionary and typically “just enough to win.” A coin toss has a 50% probability.
Similarly, all decision-making principles also have a “type-1 error,” representing the odds of being wrong. For the preponderance of evidence, the type-1 error is 50% minus a scintilla, only slightly better than a coin toss.
The solution also lies in decision-making. Hypothesis testing is deductive reasoning, using specifics and resulting in quantitative outcomes. When hypothesis testing is adapted for medical malpractice, at the very least, scintilla is assigned a value of 45%. This adjustment gives the preponderance of evidence a 95% level of confidence and a 5% type-1 error.
Here’s how hypothesis testing works in medical malpractice. The process follows two rules, similar to traditional decision-making:
Rule I: Define the objective evidence, which includes the standard of care, medical intervention, harm, and proximate cause.
Rule II: Analyze the objective evidence by comparing the standard of care and medical intervention to determine harm and proximate cause.
In inductive reasoning, analysis uses the preponderance of evidence, making a general comparison between the standard of care and the medical intervention to conclude whether there is a departure from the standard of care. In deductive reasoning, however, the comparison is more structured. Both the standard of care and the medical intervention are separated into 10 phases, and corresponding phases are compared. This method also uses the preponderance of evidence, but with a scintilla of 45%, aligning the preponderance of evidence with hypothesis testing. Ninety-five percent confidence is the sine qua non of hypothesis testing. Hypothesis testing uses a statistical test, providing a quantitative 95% confidence in the conclusion, with the level of significance (alpha) set at 0.05.
The objective of hypothesis testing is to prove the “null hypothesis.” The result is the p-value. If the p-value is equal to or greater than 0.05, the null hypothesis is accepted, indicating no statistically significant difference between the standard of care and the medical intervention. If the p-value is less than 0.05, a statistically significant difference exists, indicating that the medical intervention departs from the standard of care.
Some triers-of-fact on either side of a case may object to hypothesis testing because a scintilla of 45% changes the burden of proof to “clear and convincing evidence.” Scintilla is supposed to be a smidgen.
They are free to change the value of scintilla because scintilla is discretionary. A level of significance of 0.5 keeps them faithful to a scintilla of a smidgen. However, the chance of rejecting a true null hypothesis (type-1 error) will be around 50% rather than 5%. As for finders-of-fact, this casts as much doubt on the conclusion as traditional decision-making does.
Some might claim that hypothesis testing is too complicated or confusing. However, there are only two rules, and they are no different from traditional decision-making.
Some might argue that hypothesis testing is untried. However, all the objective evidence remains the same. The only difference lies between deductive and inductive reasoning. Deductive reasoning is used in court regularly. Moreover, hypothesis testing aligns with the Supreme Court’s Daubert Decision.
Lastly, some may object because hypothesis testing, as a decision-making method, is irrelevant to the evidence in the case. However, according to the rules of evidence, how an expert on either side reviews evidence to reach an opinion is, itself, evidence. One side’s decision-making is no less relevant than the other side’s. If nothing else, hypothesis testing exposes their decision-making.
After adopting hypothesis testing, rather than 85,000 lawsuits per year, there may be one million, most of which will be meritorious. Rather than settling frivolous lawsuits to avoid the risk of losing at trial, it will be more cost-effective to defend such lawsuits until the defendant is exonerated, dismissed with prejudice, or the lawsuit is dropped. Likewise, rather than engaging in a protracted legal battle over a meritorious claim, it would be more cost-effective to negotiate an expedient settlement. While total costs may rise to $70 billion from $55.6 billion annually, this would amount to $70,000 per lawsuit, not $700,000. The time to adjudicate lawsuits would also be shorter.

Understanding Hypothesis Testing and Statistical Errors
2. Photo from StepUp Analytics. Hypothesis testing is a method of statistical inference that considers the null hypothesis H ₀ vs. the alternative hypothesis H a, where we are typically looking to assess evidence against H ₀. Such a test is used to compare data sets against one another, or compare a data set against some external standard.
