Abstract
In the article entitled “Comparison of the outcomes of flexible ureteroscopy and mini-percutaneous nephrolithotomy for the treatment of kidney stones: a matched-pair analysis,” Rodrigues et al. 1 compared the outcomes of initial mini-percutaneous nephrolithotomy and flexible ureteroscopy. This study has scientific relevance; however, it did not answer an important question: does statistical significance (p<0.05) have clinical importance? A comparison of outcomes must consider the clinical relevance of the differences because the
