|
Specificity
|
|
Stats term than has ability to detect DISEASE.
If high, used for screening Low false negative rate |
Sensitivity
|
|
Stats term than has ability to detect HEALTH.
If high, used for disease confirmation Low false positive rate |
Specificity
|
|
A/(A+B) or
TP/(FP+TP) How likely the pt has the dz Probability of having the condn, given a +test |
PPV
TP/All P |
|
D/(C+D)

|
(A x D)/(B x C)
Used only for retrospective studies (Case-ctrl) → Is this OR, RR, or AR? |
Odds ratio
|
|
[A/(A+B)]/[C/(C+D)]
|
Relative risk
|
|
[A/(A+B)]/[C/(C+D)]

Odds ratio
|
|
Compares dz RISK in exposed vs dz RISK in unexposed poplns
If >1, is clinically significant Needs prospective or xptl study →Is this OR, RR, or AR? |
Relative risk
|
|
Is the am’t by which you can expect the incidence to decrease if you remove a risk factor.

Median
|
|
The most common value
→ Mean, median, or mode? |
Mode
|
|
Distribution with xs of high values on the right
Mean > Median > Mode |

|
|
What value gives you the strength of a correlation

|
|
Test used to compare 2 means
|

|
|

|
ANOVA
|
|
Says that you are _% confident that a population mean is within a certain range
|
Confidence Interval (usu 95%)
|
|
What does p<0.05 mean?
|
There is less than a 5% chane that these data were obtained by random error or chance
|
|
Three caveats for p-values:
|
1. study still may have serious flaws
2. low p-value doesn’t imply causation 3. statistical signif doesn’t mean clinical signif! |
|
What is “null hypothesis”?
|
For example, for a drug study, the null is that the drug doesn’t work – there is no difference btw drug and no drug.
If null hypothesis is INcorrect, this means that the difference is NOT due to chance |
|
Which type of error:
Claim an effect or difference when none exists |
Type I
|
|
Which type of error:
Accepting null hypothesis when it is false |
Type II
|
|
Probability of rejecting the null with it is false
Increase this by increasing sample size |
Power
|
|
Unmeasured variable that affects both independent and dependent variables
|
Confounding variable
|
|
Bias due to lack of blinding. Often 2/2 $$ for the study, so person wants to find a difference btw cases and ctrls
|
Interviewer bias
|
|
Pts in xpts want to be acceptable to the person conducting the study, so might not admit to embarrassing behavior or pretend to take meds when they don’t
|
Unacceptability bias
|
