Management of a Ventral Cerebrospinal Fluid Leak With a Lumbar Transforaminal Epidural Blood Patch in a Child With Persistent Postdural Puncture Headache: A Case Report.

abstract：:Omission of a confidence interval (CI) associated with the risk of a serious complication can lead to inaccurate interpretation of risk data. The calculation of a CI for a risk or a single proportion typically uses the familiar Gaussian (normal) approximation. However, when the risk is small, "exact" methods or other ...
