Interpreting Findings Reported In IMHA Studies

Internal Medicine

This question was asked during Session 2 of the Mastering IMHA program:

Question: 
The (IMHA) studies that you are mentioning, are they retrospective or prospective and are they adequately powered to detect differences in your experience?

Answer by John Loftus, PhD, DVM, DACVIM (SAIM, Nutrition):
There is a mix in the literature of retrospective and prospective studies. I suspect many of these are also under powered so that may be another reason why effects haven’t reached significance.
