English term or phrase: P & lt

Buenos días,

Espero que puedan ayudarme con la siguiente expresión al español: “P & lt”, relacionada con el informe de evaluación clínica de un producto farmacéutico. Muchas gracias:

“A total of XXX patients received injections. Efficacy assessed on the Wrinkle Severity Rating Scale (WSRS) and the Global Aesthetic Improvement Scale (GAIS). Adverse events were recorded at each evaluation session.

Mean WSRS improved significantly (P & lt;0.001) by 1.8 score patients without any decline throughout the 12-week period.”

Spanish translation:p < [p less than]

Explanation:
"& lt;" (ampersand-l-t-semicolon, all together, without the commas and without the space between the ampersand and the "l") is standard html code for the "<" symbol ("&" marks the beginning of a symbol; "lt" stands for "less than"; the semicolon marks the end of the symbol). Here, I have to write it with an intervening space between & and l because, otherwise, the sequence would be interpreted, the ampersand symbol would not not displayed and I could not make my point.

So what you have between parentheses is simply the calculated p-value:

"Mean WSRS improved significantly (p < 0.001) by 1.8 score patients..."

p & lt p (es una medida estadísitica)

Explanation:
Si p< a 0.5 se supone que entonces el estudio es significativo y si pe= o > que 1 ya no lo es
A veces usan P&Id- para decir preparación e instrumentación, pero en este caso parece mas una cosa estadística por el 0.001 que le sigue.
Espero que por lo menos te de una idea de por a donde va la cosa, supongo que lo puedes poner igual como P&It.
Saludos
