A/(A+C)
Sensitivity
D/(B+D)
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)
TN/(FN+TN)
How likely is it the pt is healthy
Prob of NOT having condn, given a -test
NPV

TN/All N
(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)]
Attributable risk
Compares exposed and unexposed poplns, dz and non-dz in both
Asks: Is there a difference?
→ Is this OR, RR, or AR?
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.
Think: smoking!!
→ Is this OR, RR, or AR?
Attributable risk
Measures reproducibility and consistency of a test
Random error reduces this
Reliability = Precision
Measures trueness of measurement. Does test measure what it claims to?
Systematic error reduces this
Validity = Accuracy
% of 1SD? 2SD? 3SD?
68% 95% 99.7%
The average

→ Mean, median, or mode?
Mean
The middle value

→ Mean, median, or mode?
Median
The most common value

→ Mean, median, or mode?
Mode
Distribution with xs of high values on the right

Mean > Median > Mode
Positive skew
Distribution in which mean = median = mode
Normal distribution
Distribution with xs of high values on the left

Mean < Median < Mode
Negative skew

In skewed: SD and mean are less meaningful!
Measures degree of relationship btw 2 values.
Ranges -1 to +1
Zero means no assocn
+1 means perfect +assocn
-1 means perfect –assocn
Correlation coefficient
What value gives you the strength of a correlation
Absolute value (-0.3 is stronger than +0.2)
Test used to compare %s or proportions
Non-numeric data
Chi-square test
Test used to compare 2 means
T-test
Analysis test used to compare 3+ 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
