were significantly different (compared to...)

По-английски статистическая значимость - обычно одно слово significant, статистически достоверные отличия - significantly different. Statistically пишут реже. Например:

A significant reduction in patient's sleep loss - Статистически достоверное сокращение потерь сна

X was significantly different compared to placebo - Статистически достоверные отличия между X и плацебо

both X and control treatment groups experienced a significant improvement in the quality of life - в обеих группах, Х и контроля, зафиксировано статистически значимое улучшение качества жизни


Cholesterol levels were slightly elevated in the breast cancer group and mean values were significantly different compared to our control group.

Или from (еще чаще, чем compared to):

During Days 19 to 24 (oestrous period), there were no
significant differences between Groups 1, 2 and 3 but all these groups
were significantly different from Group 4 (P< 0-001).

To Wendy:

I know very well what statistical significance is. In practice, however, the word "statistical" is more often left out than not. Just "significantly different" is a very common and accepted way to refer to a statistically significant difference, and is perfectly well understood.

Еще примеры из 204 000 по запросу "significantly different"+"treatment groups" (я специально взяла такие ключевые слова, чтобы отобрать контексты, где сравниваются группы терапии). Обратите внимание, что везде указана величина p (вероятность того, что гипотеза о статистической достоверности различий неверна), т. е. "significantly different" означает именно статистически достоверные отличия.

The study group increased from 43.1 to 45.2 to 71.0 to 81.9 and were significantly different (p = NS, < 0.05, < 0.001, 0.06).

Body temperatures of the two species (Fig. 6) were similar at
Epanomi (t-test, P > 0.5) but were significantly different at
Lagos (P < 0.05) and especially at Keramoti (P < 0.001).

The sum of changes from baseline in swollen throat over 15 to 120 minutes was significantly different between treatment groups (p = 0.028).

The treatment changes in this region were significantly different from the control group (P < .001).

Note that the group treated with Survanta 50 mg/kg with PEG is significantly different from both injured control animals and animals treated with either 50 or 100 mg/kg of Survanta alone (two-way ANOVA with repeated measures, p < 0.05).

Thank you!
neutral Wendy Cummings : I think you need to keep "statistically" as "statistical signfiicance" is a recognised concept in stats

No you are wrong I am afraid. Just "significant" is enough and widely accepted.

the difference between [group A] and [group B] was statistically significant

A way to change it round and avoid any awkward phrasing.

One a definition of "statistical significance" includes:

As used in statistics, significant does not mean important or meaningful, as it does in everyday speech. For example, a study that included tens of thousands of participants might be able to say with great confidence that people of one state were more intelligent than people of another state by 1/20 of an IQ point. This result would be statistically significant, but the difference is small enough to be utterly unimportant. Many researchers urge that tests of significance should always be accompanied by effect-size statistics, which approximate the size and thus the practical importance of the difference.
[Wikipedia]

Note that determining statistical significance involves hypothesis testing and a number of other statistical calculations - it is a mathematical concept that is used in analysis of all forms of results, including medical.

Thank you, Wendy!
Peer comment(s):

neutral Marina Aleyeva : This does not look like typical medical writing to me. And no, you don't really need "statistically" here.// As a medical translator, you should know that "significantly different" already implies statistical significance when comparing treatment groups.
