Hi
I have a question.We did a clinical research for measuring a specific CD marker in special patients. But we forgot to measure it in normal people. Can we use the measurements of this marker as a controller from other researches in our article?
Do journals publish such work?
Thank you

Hi, you should not use other authours' controls because they may not be exactly your controls and their could be variability in the values. You should measure you won controls values and use them for your computations.

No, it is not ideal to use controls of other authors. It may lead to statistical bias.
