Q

Difference between effect modification and confounding bias?

A

Effect modification is something to be studied; Present when effect of the main exposure is modified by presence of another variable.

Q

Power

A

= 1 - Beta; Beta = Pr(type II error) = Pr of rejecting null hypothesis when it is truly false = Pr difference when there IS one = Maximize for clinical trials!

23
Q

Type 1 v. type 2 error

A

1st and foremost, making something out to be when there isn’t anything. (Rejecting H0 when it is true). 2nd, saying nothing when there is (Fail to reject, when H0 is false)

24
Q

Berkson’s bias

A

Selection bias - selecting hospitalized patients as the control

25
Q

Hawthorne effect

A

The tendency for a study population to affect an outcome due to the knowledge of being study. e.g. behavioral studies

26
Q

Pygmalion effect

A

Researcher’s beliefs in efficacy of treatment potentially affecting the outcome

27
Q

Number needed to harm?

A

1/AR

28
Q

Precision vs. accuracy?

A

Accuracy has to do with close to REAL number. Precision has to do with ability to REPRODUCE a result

29
Q

Lead-time bias vs. recall bias?

A

Lead-time bias occurs when the early detection of a condition is interpreted as increased survival. Recall bias is when awareness of the condition leads to increased recall (e.g. retrospective studies)

30
Q

Observer-expectancy bias?

A

The Pygmalion effect - researcher’s belief in efficacy changes outcome of treatment

31
Q

Standard deviation vs. standard error of the mean?

A

SD is variability from mean of a set of values. Standard error is variability between sample mean and true population mean. SEM = SD / sqroot(n)

32
Q

Positive vs. negative skew?

A

Skewed is tail. Positive tail is long. Negative skew has longer negative tail.

33
Q

What is statistical power?

A

The probability of rejecting the null hypothesis WHEN IT IS FALSE = 1-Type II error (Beta = false-negative)

34
Q

Primary vs. secondary disease prevention?

A

Preventing disease occurrence and screening for EARLY disease

35
Q

Tertiary vs. quaternary disease prevention?

A

Tertiary screening is treating to reduce disability 2/2 disase. Quaternary is ID’ing patients at risk from unnecessary treatment.

36
Q

What things can children get treatment for without parental consent?

A

Contraception, STDs, pregnancy, drugs, emergency/trauma

37
Q

Priority of surrogate decision making?

A

Spouse, adult children, parents, adult siblings, other relatives.

38
Q

APGAR stands for?

A

Appearance, Pulse, Grimace, Activity, Respiration.

39
Q

When should you be worried about APGAR?

A

4-6 = assist and stimulate. < 4 = resuscitate

40
Q

Definition of low birth weight?

A

<2500 g

41
Q

Number of words by age 2?

56
Q

Big difference between anorexia and bulimia?

A

Bulimics maintain their body weight and don’t have amenorrhea, osteoporosis, emaciation

57
Q

How to determine if something is a confounding variable?

A

Stratify your analysis with the confounder to see if there are still an effect of the exposure onto the outcome.
