Epidemiology Flashcards
(18 cards)
Sensitivity
a/(a+c) = TP/(TP+FN)
Specificity
d/(b+d) = TN/(TN+FP)
PPV
a/(a+b) = TP/(TP+FP)
NPV
d/(c+d) = TN/(TN+FN)
which statistical values are affected by prevalence?
PPV and NPV
Positive Likelihood Ratio
sensitivity/1-specificity = TP/FP
Negative Likelihood Ratio
1-sensitivity/specificity = FN/TN
absolute risk
incidence
attributable risk
incidence of risk exposed - incidence of risk unexposed
Relative risk
Incidence in exposed / incidence unexposed (a ratio) = [a/(a+b)] / [c/(c+d)]
Odds ratio
ad / bc
Type 1 error
conclude there is a difference when in fact there is not
Type 2 error
conclude there is no difference when in fact there is
Power
Power = 1 - type 2 error
