Terminal efficiency of Peruvian university dental school undergraduate students over six years

Abstract

This study aimed to determine the terminal efficiency of Peruvian university dental school undergraduate students over six years. The population was based on the records of undergraduate students from the UPCH Dental School from 2017 to 2022. The database was created with the information requested from the UPCH Dental School and the UPCH institutional repository. The descriptive analysis allowed absolute and relative frequencies to be obtained, in addition to assessing differences using the Chi-square statistical test. For the bivariate analysis, the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test was used to evaluate the normality of the data distribution, and the nonparametric Mann Whitney U and Kruskal Wallis tests were used, along with the corresponding post hoc test. The study had a confidence level of 95% and a value of p<0.05 to determine statistical significance
