Abstract
This letter addresses errors in the statistical analysis found in a paper addressing pulmonary diffusing capacity and decompression sickness. Our re-analysis could not confirm any of the significant statistical contrasts described for the bubble data, invalidating the speculation on the relationships between bubble scores and decompression sickness.
