Test for differences in renal mortality between the two groups in either direction, and report a two-tailed p-value?


Renal Disease

A study group of 576 working women 30−49 years of age who took phenacetin-containing analgesics and a control group of 533 comparably aged women without such intake were identified in 1968 and followed for mortality and morbidity outcomes. One hypothesis to be tested was that phenacetin intake may influence renal (kidney) function and hence have an effect on specific indices of renal morbidity and mortality. The mortality status of these women was determined from 1968 to 1987. The researchers found that 16 of the women in the study group and 1 of the women in the control group died, where at least one cause of death was considered renal [13].
