Question
Answer
differentiate bw prevalence and incidence   prevalence is the no of cases at a given time, incidence is the no of new cases over a period of time  
🗑
define PPV in words, in eqn   probability of those w + test really have dz; those + tests with dz divided by everybody who had a + test  
🗑
how does prevalence affect PPV   higher prevalence, higher PPV  
🗑
how does specificity affect PPV   higher specificity, higher PPV  
🗑
define NPV in words, in eqn   probability that those w - test really don't have dz; those - tests without dz divided by everybody w - test  
🗑
how does sensitivity affect NPV   the more sensitive the test, the higher the NPV  
🗑
how does prevalence affect NPV   the lower the dz prevalence, the lower the NPV  
🗑
what's + likelihood ratio tell you (in words)   for a + test, the ratio of those that have the dz v. those that don't [true + / false +]  
🗑
what's + likelihood ratio in an eqn   eqn= + test + dz / + test - dz  
🗑
define + likelihood ratio in terms of sensitivity and specificity   sensitivity / (1-specificity)  
🗑
define specificty in words, in eqn   probability pt + dz will have + test; % of ppl w dz whose test is + [= + dz + test / all + dz ]  
🗑
define sensitivey in words, in eqn   probability pt - dz will have - test; % ppl - dz w - test [= - dz - test / all - dz]  
🗑
explain how raising the glu cut-off for DM will affect false negatives and false positives   fewer false positives, more false negatives  
🗑
explain how raising the glu cut-off for DM dx affects sensitivity and specificity, PPV and NPV   lower sensitivity, higher specificity, higher PPV, lower NPV  
🗑
what's - likelihood ratio tell you (in words)   for a - test, the ratio of those that have the dz v. those that don't [true - / false -]  
🗑
what's - likelihood ratio in an eqn   eqn= - test + dz / - test - dz  
🗑
define - likelihood ratio in terms of sensitivity and specificity   eqn=(1-sensitivity) / specificity  
🗑
what is the pretest probability   dz prevalence  
🗑
what's absolute risk   incidence of dz  
🗑
what's attributable risk? Aka? Eqn   risk difference, how much the risk of the dz is due to exposure; =incidence in ppl exposed - incidence in ppl not exposed  
🗑
what is relative risk? Aka? Eqn   risk ratio, how much more likely an exposed grp is to get the dz than unexposed; = incidence in exposed / incidence in unexposed  
🗑
what type of studies report odds ratios, what does it mean   cohort study; relative risk of person w dz to have had exposure vs. person w/o dz to have had exposure  
🗑
eqn for odds ratio   AD/BC  
🗑
define odds in terms of probability   odds=probability/(1-probability) [ie probability it will happen/probability it won't happen]  
🗑
eqn for probability in terms of odds   probability= odds/(1+odds)  
🗑
define alpha error, beta error   alpha=type I; saying there's a diff when there really isn't one; beta=type II, saying there's no diff when there really is one  
🗑
what are essential elements of informed consent   BRAIN=Benefits, risks, alternatives, indications, nature of intervention  
🗑
difference bw competence and decision making capacity   competence is pt's legal capacity to make decisions, as assessed by court; decision making capacity is the medical term  
🗑
DNI and DNR are exs of   living will  
🗑
difference bw wdrawal of care and withholding care   none legally  
🗑
define therapeutic privilege   MD can withhold info from pt if the info would severely harm them or undermine their decision making capacity  
🗑
what are 4 key components of malpractice lawsuit   duty, dereliction of duty, damage, and the damage was directly caused by dereliction of duty  
🗑
what's the burden of proof for malpractice   preponderance of evidence (not beyond a reasonable doubt)  
🗑
