study where you look at people with disease, people without disease, and look for risk factor(s)?

how measure?
case-contol study (retrospective)

Odds ratio
study where you take group of people with risk factor and see if they develop a disease
cohort study (prospective, confirms risk factors/risk factor reduction)
sensitivity rules in or out for a disease?
SNOUT

sensitivity rules out
to increase positive predictive value, do what?
increase prevalence in the population you are screening (so screen those with other symptoms that have higher pre-test probability of having disease, like abdominal pain in ovarian cancer screening)
prevalence equation
incidence X disease duration
what is equation for Relative Risk, and in what circumstance does Odds Ratio approximate relative risk?
Relative Risk (cohort studies)
(a/a+b)/(c/c+d)

Odds ratio (case control) approximates when PREVALENCE LOW, so a and c become miniscule, which becomes (a/b)/(c/d) = ad/bc

studies performed on hospitalized patients (bias of symptoms, more severe)
sampling bias is
generalizability

power calculated by
1-beta error (type II, False Negative)
what measurement is likelihood of alpha error?
p value (chance that findings of study are not real)
an alpha (type 1 error) male more likely will mistakenly claim he found a difference or that he didn't find a difference?
he will claim he found a difference when one doesn't exist (to show his friends)
