Question
Answer
show number of existing cases in the population at a moment in time  
🗑
show number of new cases in the disease-free population that develop over a period of time  
🗑
Formula for prevalence?   show
🗑
show cohort study  
🗑
prevalence is measured with what type of study?   show
🗑
show study in which people in a population are examined for the presence of a disease of interest at a given point in time  
🗑
Advantages of cross-sectional studies (3). Disadvantages of cross-sectional studies (2).   show
🗑
What statistical test to estimate causal relationships?   show
🗑
What statistical test to estimate relative risk or exposure?   show
🗑
Formula for Incidence?   show
🗑
When is prevalence > incidence?   show
🗑
When is prevalence = incidence?   show
🗑
show 1 - sensitivity  
🗑
show 1 - specificity  
🗑
show a=dz with + test; b=false +; c=false neg; d=real neg result. Sensitivity is the number of TRUE POSITIVES divided by the number of all people with the disease, the probability of a POSITIVE TEST given that a person has the disease. a/(a+c)  
🗑
show a=dz with + test; b=false +; c=false neg; d=real neg result. Specificity is the number of TRUE NEGATIVES divided by the number of all people without the disease, probability of a NEGATIVE TEST given that a person does not have dz.  
🗑
PPV - what is it and what is the formula?   show
🗑
NPV - what is it and what is the formula?   show
🗑
show greater specificity or higher prevalence will give a better PPV  
🗑
show greater sesitivity or lower prevalence will give a better NPV  
🗑
Number of true positives divided by the number of people who tested positive for the disease?   show
🗑
The probability of having a condition given a positive test?   show
🗑
show Negative Predictive Value (NPV)  
🗑
show Negative Predictive Value (NPV)  
🗑
show Unlike sensitivity and specificity, predictive values are dependent on the PREVALENCE of the disease.  
🗑
show how much more or less likely a given test result is in diseased vs. non-diseased people  
🗑
what is a pretest probability   show
🗑
what do you use a likelihood ratio for? What is a +LR? What is a -LR?   show
🗑
formula for + likelihood ratio   show
🗑
formula for - likelihood ratio   show
🗑
What does it mean if a test has an LR of 1? 10? 0.1?   show
🗑
show the chances that your patient has a disease, given the test result. Formula is Pre-test odds (individualized) x likelihood ratio.  
🗑
Odds Ratio (OR)?   show
🗑
For Odds Ratio, odds are calculated xxx as the number with disease divided by the number without disease.   show
🗑
In what situation does Odds Ratio (OR) approximate Relative Risk?   show
🗑
show Odds Ratio is used for CASE-CONTROL studies.  
🗑
What is the absolute risk?   show
🗑
Formula for Odds Ratio?   show
🗑
Formula for Relative Risk?   show
🗑
Formula for Attributable Risk?   show
🗑
Relative Risk (RR)?   show
🗑
show Risk is calculated WITHIN A GROUP as the number with disease divided by the total number of people in the group.  
🗑
Relative Risk (RR) is used for xxx studies.   show
🗑
show FALSE POS. There IS an effect or difference when none exists (to mistakenly accept the experimental hypothesis and reject the null hypothesis).  
🗑
p is judged against xxx, a preset level of significance (usually < 0.05).   show
🗑
p = ?   show
🗑
If p < 0.05, then there is less than a 5% chance that xxx.   show
🗑
show alpha = you "saw" a difference that did NOT exist--for example, convicting an innocent man.  
🗑
In a four quadrant box, power lies in what region?   show
🗑
show Alpha is at the intersection of column H0 (reality) and row H1 (study results)  
🗑
In a four quadrant box, beta lies in what region?   show
🗑
To commit a Type II error (beta) is to state what?   show
🗑
Beta is the probability of making a type xxx error.   show
🗑
show Beta = you did not "see" a difference that does exist--for example, setting a guilty man free.  
🗑
Qualitative definition of Power? What is its formula?   show
🗑
show 1. Total number of end points experienced by population. 2. Difference in COMPLIANCE b/w treatment groups (differences in the mean values b/w groups). 3. Size of expected effect.  
🗑
show If you INCREASE sample size, you increase Power. There is Power in numbers.  
🗑
show SEM = SD/(square root of sample size)  
🗑
show SEM < SD?  
🗑
SEM xxx as sample size increases?   show
🗑
For a Normal (Gaussian) distributional curve, SD of 1 = x%?   show
🗑
For a Normal (Gaussian) distributional curve, SD of 2 = x%?   show
🗑
For a Normal (Gaussian) distributional curve, SD of 3 = x%?   show
🗑
show CI = range from [mean - Z(SEM)] to [mean + Z(SEM)]  
🗑
The 95% CI corresponds to what p value?   show
🗑
For the 95% CI, Z = xxx.   show
🗑
If the 95% CI for a xxx between 2 variables includes 0, then there is no significant difference and H0 is NOT rejected.   show
🗑
show If the 95% CI for ODDS RATIO or RELATIVE RISK includes 1, then H0 is NOT rejected.  
🗑
show difference b/w 2 or more percentages or proportions of categorical outcomes (NOT mean values).  
🗑
Chi squared =   show
🗑
r squared =   show
🗑
show B.A. S.S.S.M.M.A.R.T. Chicken or you're Gone: Hep A, Hep B, Salmonella, Shigella, Syphilis, Measles Mumps, AIDS Rubella, TB, Chicken, Gonorrhea  
🗑

🗑
Advantages of cohort study (3)   show
🗑
Disadvantages of cohort study (3)   show
🗑
What is a case-controlled study   show
🗑
Advantages of case-controlled study (3)   show
🗑
Disadvantages of case-controlled study (2)   show
🗑
show probability of event / (1-prob of event)  
🗑
formula for probability   show
🗑
show measurement bias  
🗑
What kind of bias: found in retrospective studies   show
🗑
show lead-time bias  
🗑
show length bias  
🗑
what is the confidence interval?   show
🗑
What does it mean if a CI includes the value corresponding to a relative risk of 1?   show
🗑
If the CI is wide, then the power is…   show
🗑
show Cause and effect diagram – Fishbone or Ishakawa diagram  
🗑
show a Pareto chart  
🗑
show Spaghetti diagram in which flows are drawn as lines on a map, I need to follow a medication through a hospital from order generation to administration of the medication.  
🗑
