Abstract
OBJECTIVES: To illustrate how multiple hypotheses testing can produce
associations with no clinical plausibility.
STUDY DESIGN AND SETTING: We conducted a study of all 10,674,945 residents
of Ontario aged between 18 and 100 years in 2000. Residents were randomly
assigned to equally sized derivation and validation cohorts and classified
according to their astrological sign. Using the derivation cohort, we
searched through 223 of the most common diagnoses for hospitalization until
we identified two for which subjects born under one astrological sign had a
significantly higher probability of hospitalization compared to subjects
born under the remaining signs combined (P<0.05).
RESULTS: We tested these 24 associations in the independent validation
cohort. Residents born under Leo had a higher probability of
gastrointestinal hemorrhage (P=0.0447), while Sagittarians had a higher
probability of humerus fracture (P=0.0123) compared to all other signs
combined. After adjusting the significance level to account for multiple
comparisons, none of the identified associations remained significant in
either the derivation or validation cohort.
CONCLUSIONS: Our analyses illustrate how the testing of multiple, non-
prespecified hypotheses increases the likelihood of detecting implausible
associations. Our findings have important implications for the analysis and
interpretation of clinical studies.
