SCOPE OF THE PROBLEM
• Continuous variables are very common (e.g. age, left ventricular ejection fraction, hemoglobin concentration, hematocrit, late loss at angiographic analyses)
• Their reporting and analysis strongly depends on the underlying distribution (Gaussian [i.e. normal] versus non-Gaussian)

ALGORITHM
1. Check if variable is well known for having Gaussian distribution
a. If yes and sample size > 30 then proceed to point 2.b. If no or sample size < 30 then proceed to point 3.
2. Report variable as mean±standard deviation and compare it with Gossett-Student t test

ALGORITHM
3. Compare variable distribution with Gaussian distribution using one-sample Kolmogodorov-Smirnov test
a. If p>0.05 then go back to point 2.b. If p<0.05 then go back to point If no or sample size < 30
then proceed to point 4.
4. Report variable as median (1°-3° quartile) and compare it with Mann-Whitney U test (for indepent samples) or Wilcoxon rank-sum test (for related samples)

ALGORITHM
5. If instead than 2 groups, several groups are being compared, other tests should be employed, including ANOVA, MANOVA, or ANCOVA (after transformation) versus Kruskal-Wallis or Friedman non-parametric tests
