Research Methods Test 2

        Help!  

Question
Answer
Narrative Review   show
🗑
Systematic Review   show
🗑
show -Quantitatively combines the results of studies that are the result of a systematic literature review -Capable of performing a statistical analysis of the pooled results of relevant studies  
🗑
Systematic reviews   show
🗑
show -Increased sample sizes -Can control for between-study variation  
🗑
Disadvantages of systematic reviews   show
🗑
Meta-analysis   show
🗑
Hierarchy of Evidence   show
🗑
show -Planning the review (ID of the need for a review, preparation of a proposal for review, and development of a review protocol) -Conducting the review (ID of research, selection of studies, study quality assessment, data extraction and synthesis)  
🗑
show -Compares different studies -Statistically different when 95% confidence intervals cross effect line  
🗑
Narrative reviews advantages   show
🗑
Narrative reviews disadvantages   show
🗑
show -Present a comprehensive review of the literature based on all available research with regard to a focused research question -Provide an estimate of the "true" answer to the research question  
🗑
show -Specialized expertise of reviewers is required -Involve a formal research protocol -Findings are only relevant to a single question  
🗑
show -File Drawer Problem = only positive data presented, the rest are put in the file drawer -In situ = some parts of the studies published  
🗑
show Similarity between studies, increases their ability to be compared  
🗑
Study heterogeneity   show
🗑
show -Subgroup analysis (older v younger)= may be more valid, reduce stat power -Meta regression analysis = analysis of hetero. between subgroups -Sensitivity analysis = considers variation between factors other than subjects -Cumulative meta-analysis  
🗑
show Introduction (What was asked) Methods (How was it studied) Results (What was found) and Discussion  
🗑
Introduction   show
🗑
Methods   show
🗑
show Key findings  
🗑
Discussion   show
🗑
Incidence   show
🗑
show estimate of proportion of unaffected person who will develop the disease of interest over a specified period of time  
🗑
Odds Ratio (OR)   show
🗑
Prevalence   show
🗑
show proportion of population with disease at a given time (can miss episodic conditions)  
🗑
show proportion of population that has disease within a defined period of time  
🗑
show 3 key criteria: Temporality (temporal precedence) Consistency Dose-response  
🗑
show A causes B or B causes A or X causes A + B A not related to B; occurrence is a mere chance  
🗑
show Reproduction of study results in different populations  
🗑
Dose response   show
🗑
Bradford Hill's Criteria of Causation   show
🗑
Cohort studies   show
🗑
Case-control study   show
🗑
For case-control studies you must calculate ________ and not __________   show
🗑
show ad/bc a=exposed cases b=exposed controls c=nonexposed cases d=nonexposed controls  
🗑
Case-control studies advantages   show
🗑
Case-control studies disadvantages   show
🗑
show systematic differences between cases and controls in ability to recall past exposures  
🗑
Berkson's bias   show
🗑
Stratified analysis   show
🗑
Cohort studies   show
🗑
show Discreet--> smokers vs. nonsmokers Continuous--> cholesterol levels  
🗑
show Tracking cohort with early stage of chronic condition  
🗑
show -Less subject to bias than case-control studies bc exposure levels evaluated before disease develops -Best design to determine risk level -Better for studying relatively common diseases -Most expensive type of epidemiological study, but cheaper than RCTs  
🗑
show The odds ratio will tend to OVERESTIMATE the risk ratio  
🗑
Relative Risk (RR) in cohort studies   show
🗑
show AR or ARR= a/(a+b) - c/(c+d)  
🗑
show Comparative reduction in rates of bad outcomes between experimental and control groups............RRR = ARR // c/(c+d)  
🗑
show # of patients would would need to be treated in order to prevent one additional bad outcome......NNT = 1/ARR........related term = NNH (number needed to harm  
🗑
Cohort studies advantages   show
🗑
show -Typically very expensive -Many people must be followed to obtain enough with the disease -Very time-consuming -Subjects frequently drop out of study over time -Difficult to generate a control group to study very common conditions  
🗑
Case studies   show
🗑
show 1) Unique case 2) Unexpected association 3) Unexpected development 4) Unusual presentation  
🗑
show NO, a case study is more in depth  
🗑
Purposes of case reports   show
🗑
Limitations of case reports   show
🗑
Case series   show
🗑
SSTSDs   show
🗑
show -Condition is chronic -Condition is stable -Spontaneous remission is not likely -Previous treatment has had limited success -No concurrent treatment is involved  
🗑
show Stable downward and accelerating downward trend  
🗑
Multiple baseline design   show
🗑
Descriptive statistics   show
🗑
4 types of descriptive statistics   show
🗑
Frequency distribution   show
🗑
show Mean of a sample or mean of a population  
🗑
show Nominal, ordinal, interval, ratio  
🗑
Nominal   show
🗑
Ordinal   show
🗑
Interval   show
🗑
Ratio   show
🗑
Normal distribution   show
🗑
show Unimodal = 1 peak, Bimodal = 2 peaks, Multimodal = < 2 peaks  
🗑
Standard error of the mean   show
🗑
show 68.3% confidence interval  
🗑
show 95.5% confidence interval  
🗑
show 99.7% confidence interval  
🗑
show the higher the standard deviation (larger spread)  
🗑
The narrower the bars on the histogram are distributed...   show
🗑
Skewed distributions   show
🗑
show Z-score is the percentage to the left of the point in question, to find the other side, subject that percentage from 100%  
🗑
show Type 1 error, the odds of saying the hypothesis is true when it is actually false  
🗑
show CORRECT DECISION, the odds of saying the hypothesis is false when it actually is false  
🗑
show CORRECT DECISION, the odds of saying the hypothesis is true when it cannot be proven to be false  
🗑
show Type 2 error, the odds of saying the hypothesis is false, when it cannot be proven to be false  
🗑
