    In order to show preemptive analgesia effect, author did not use any parameter related to the total analgesic comsumption except first analgesic requirement. That's why for prevention of any bias and improve strength of the paper first analgesic time has to be given according to caudal block application time. This way we can understand if delay in analgesic requirement due to either effect of caudal block or preemptive analgesia.

     

    So, for statistical analysis, time difference between block application time and first analgesic requirements should be applied. If it is done in this way it is o.k then.
