Question
Answer
Seven Core Competencies   OPP, Pt Care, Medical Knowledge, Practice-Based Learning and improvement, Interpersonal and Communication Skills, Professionalism, Systems-based Practice  
🗑
Quantitative   each value is a number that represents an amount or count *interval/ratio  
🗑
Qualitative   each value is a word or code that represents a class or category *nominal/ordinal  
🗑
Mean   sum of all observations divided by N (number of total observations)  
🗑
This MCT is most sensitive to outliers   Mean  
🗑
Median   middle value when observations (ordinal) are ranked in order  
🗑
Use this MCT when data is skewed   Median  
🗑
Mode   value most frequently observed  
🗑
When can only the Mode be used   with nominal data  
🗑
Find variance by   square individual deviation scores then average them  
🗑
Standard Deviation in relation to the variance   Square root of the variance  
🗑
The normal curve is   symmetrical and has mean=median=mode  
🗑
Skewedness is named + or – based on   where the outlier is  
🗑
Kurtosis describes the   peakness or flatness of a curve  
🗑
Leptokurtic curve is   thin & peaked  
🗑
Platykurtic curve is   flat and wide  
🗑
Causality must be determined because   statistical correlation does not always mean causation  
🗑
r=correlation coeff. Which ranges from   -1 to 1  
🗑
Positive or negative reflects   slope of the line  
🗑
The closer to 1 the coeff. Is the   more correlated the data is  
🗑
R*2 (squared) shows   amount of variation in the dependent variable explained by the independent variable  
🗑
Total number of cases of disease or injury in a population at a particular point in time or during a specific time period   prevalence  
🗑
Measure of NEW cases in a population over a specific time period   incidence  
🗑
Those who have the disease and tested positive divided by the total number of those who have the disease   sensitivity  
🗑
The ability of a test to correctly identify those who do not have a disease   specificity  
🗑
Probability that the person tests negative if they do not have the disease   specificity  
🗑
Probability that a person will test positive if they have the disease   sensitivity  
🗑
Likelihood that a positive test is predictive of having the disease   PPV  
🗑
PPV =   True positives divided by sum of all positive tests  
🗑
Likelihood that a negative test is predictive of being disease free   NPV  
🗑
Likelihood Ratio of Positive test means   how much more likely is an infected Pt to test + than a disease free Pt  
🗑
Likelihood Ratio of Positive test calculation   Sensitivity/(1-Specificity)  
🗑
Likelihood Ratio of Negative test means   how much more likely is a disease free person to test – than an infected Pt  
🗑
Likelihood Ratio of Negative test calculation   (1-sensitivity)/Specificity  
🗑
CER   Control Event Rate  
🗑
EER   Experimental Event Rate  
🗑
AAR   Absolute Risk Reduction  
🗑
RRR   Relative Risk Reduction  
🗑
AAR =   EER-CER  
🗑
RRR =   (EER-CER)/CER  
🗑
Number Needed to treat means   number you have to treat to “save” one  
🗑
NNT =   1/AAR (negative value)  
🗑
Number Needed to Harm means   number of patients you need to treat to have one with adverse effects  
🗑
NNH for control and experiment =   1/ AAR (positive value)  
🗑
Hypothesis testing step 1/6   State the question  
🗑
Hypothesis testing step 2/6   Formulate Null and Alternative hypothesis  
🗑
Hypothesis testing step 3/6   Establish a decision rule  
🗑
Hypothesis testing step 4/6   Do the research  
🗑
Hypothesis testing step 5/6   make a decision  
🗑
Hypothesis testing step 6/6   Interpret  
🗑
Decision rule uses p which means   what probability of being wrong are we willing to tolerate  
🗑
Decision rule using p=0.05 means   if p<0.05 reject the null hypothesis  
🗑
Type I error (alpha) means   Determined the treatment works but it actually doesn’t  
🗑
Type II error (beta) means   Determined the treatment didn’t work when it really does  
🗑
Power refers to a test’s ability to   find a difference if one really exits  
🗑
Power =   1-beta  
🗑
z-statistic can only be used with   a NORMAL CURVE ie ideal case  
🗑
If 1/(EER-CER) > 0 than it is the Number Needed to   Harm  
🗑
If 1/(EER-CER) <0 than it is the Number needed to   Treat  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
