health information system
the combination of vital and health stats from multiple sources used to derive info about health needs, resources, costs, use of services, outcomes...
count/frequency
the # of events/cases/inds that satisfy specified criteria
ratio
represents a relationship b/n #s of events/inds that satisfy different criteria (numerator doesn't have to be part of or relate to denominator)
proportion
a type of ratio in which the numerator is part of the denominator
percentage
a proportion multiplied by 100%
rate
a proportion that includes the specification of time a measure that expresses the rapidity, velocity, F of some event
incidence rate (IR)
the rapidity with which new cases/events occur
IR
# events/cases occurring in specified time period
-----------
population present in time period
X 10n
population present
usually defined as midyear pop. or in terms of person time (PT), usually person years
prevalence (P)
the amount of disease/disability already present in a pop. at that particular time.
P (prevalence) =
# cases present at time t
----------------------
pop. @ time t X10n
incidence is a ___________, prevalence is a ______________.
movie, snapshot
risk (R)=
the probability that an event will occur in a specified time period. often expressed as relative risk or risk ratio (RR), the likelihood that an exposed ind will dvp/contract a dx compared to someone who is not exposed.
RR=

(relative risk)
# new cases among those exposed
______________________________
# new cases among those not exposed
<1 Vs. >1
(range of possibilities, w/ 1 meaning there is no association b/n the factor and dvpt. of the dx)
<1 means the factor under study is protective
>1 = the factor is associated with the disease.

double blind study
neither subject nor observer knows assignment
cohort/incidence/longitudinal
a statistical age group used in a longitudonal study. followed for a period of time for the dvpt of the dx being studied.
data collected at beginning and conclusion of study
sources of cohort= special exposure or resource groups
measure of association- relative risk or risk ratio
case control study
comparing diseased and nondiseased with regard to how frequently the attribute is present
-data is collected once
-usu. only an option for studying rare conds.
-selection and sources of controls: population based
data presentation: 2X2 table, assumes one cause for each dx
measure of association: odds ratio
common source epidemic
point source; a single common exposure to a virus
propagative epidemic
direct; person to person
sensitive screen testing
the proportion of true positives that are labeled as positive
specificity of screen testing
the proportion of true negatives that are labeled as negative
final accurate diagnosis
2X2 table
