Epidemiology/ Ethics/ Psychiatry Flashcards
(206 cards)
Sensitivity
A/ (A+C)
TP/ (TP+FN)
Positive test of disease/ Total disease
Specificity
D/ (B+D)
TN/ (TN+FP)
Negative test of no disease/ total no disease
Prevalence
Positive test/ total population
TP+FN/ Total
PPV
A/ (A+B)
TP/(TP+FP)
True positive/ (All positives)
The higher the disease prevalence that higher the PPV
NPV
D/ (C+D)
TN/(FN+TN)
True negatives/ All negatives
Likelihood ratio (LR)
+LR= sensitivity / (1-specificity)
NNT
NNT= 1/ absolute risk reduction
Odds ratio
OR= (A/C)/ (B/D)
OR= AD/ BC
Relative risk
RR= [A/(A+B)]/ [C/(C+D)]
Risk of developing disease in those exposed divided by risk of disease in unexposed
Absolute risk reduction
ARR= [C/C+D] -[A/(A+B)]
The difference in risk attributable to the intervention compared to the control
Cohort
Exposure —> disease
Case control
Diseased and non-diseased into two group trying to find exposure
Odds ratio
Type I (alpha) error
Concluding there is a difference when there is not
False positive
Rejecting the null hypothesis when it should not be rejected
Type II (beta) error
No difference when there is
False negative
P value
estimate of the probability that differences in treatment effects in a study could have happened by chance alone
P < 0.05 statistically significant
Reject null hypothesis which states no correlation
Power
What increased power?
Probability that a study will find a statistically significant difference when one is truly there
Increase number of subjects increases power
Power= 1 - type II error (beta)

MMR Polio (Sabin) Yellow fever Influenza (nasal) Varicella

Mean 230
SD 10 mg/dL
2 SD from mean
210 - 250
Stand deviation distribution
68% (middle)= 1 standard deviation
95%= 2 SD
99.7 (outside)= 3 SD
Inquire about possible risk factors and outcomes at a specific point in time (snap shot)
Cross-sectional study
Type of observational study
