(93 cards)
precision in improved as _____. _____increased
how is prcision estimated in stats terms
sample size
tighter CI’s
- when there are big outliers or the distribution isnt normal what is better median or mean.
- MC used meaure of variabilty for a guassian aa nomral distribution
- when filling in missing data with multiple imputation what is key assumption
- internal vs. external validity?
- how can one determine external validity?
- Why is ITT so favored?
- do rcts established causation?
- median
2 standard deviation
- That the missing data must be missing at random.
- internal vs. external validity? internal-> sound study design and results. external generalizaiblity
- use registry data to confirm an RCTs result
- It is the only method to gaurantee and ubiased estimate of treatment effect. bc altering treatment group after randomization inherently biasisi the results.
by statistical dogma should you compare baseline charateristics in an RCT by p value
No, bc of some bullshit about source derivation
3 factors that go into making a balanced trial
- randomization
- outcome detection are done in a balanced manner between the groups. (ie blinding )
- missing data must be minimzed.
How do determine noninferiority statistically
The upper 95% CI cannto include the noniferiority boundary. Setting these boundaries are controveral.
- How is bayseanstatistics different fromStandard?
- Baysean Analysis Utilizes prior probability distribution based on what is known And reCalbraith these probabilities in light of experimental results
False positive rate pneumonic
False negative trial
alpha error (FAST) - Fasle Alpha statisitcal test - alpha is first so this is type one error.
False negative trial –> beta error…(type II error the other one is the other one)
alpha error
false positive test (FAST)
type I error =
What is it preset as in trials
How do you thing of it?
alpha error - False positive staisitical test
0.05 althought it looks like the p value it is a different concept, it is the probablity before the trial starts that the result would be a false positive
If you repeated the trial 100 x then 95% of the time or more the result would be the same
Beta error what is it
false negative rate (probablity of a false negative trial). This is also type II error.
power is what
1-Beta error aka ture postive rate
True postive rate
1-Beta error or Power
Power is the abillty to show a difference when one exists.
RR calc
(control relative risk - exper RR)/ CRR
SIHD major updates.
- prior to PCI for SICHD need to do this?
- Rule of thumb regarding deferring intervention?
- Rule of thumb regarding FFR of a lsions
- when to do stress after cabg per guidelines in asx. overall exercise and imaging studies should only be done when therre is a change in clinical status not annualy.
- trial medical therapy
- choose it.
- choose it.
- after 5 years its reasonable
change in GL on aspiration thrombectomy and embol
- total increase in stroke now class III
- embolic protection still reasonable in SVG Ib (european gl dropped it but not ours, bc the data that causes the european gl didnt make sense. )
GL changes non infacrt artery at time of STEMI
now pci should not be performed in seeting of shock
Can perform in STEMI as long as not as in shock (hasnt made guidleins)
AUC NSTEMI/US what constitute high risk features for nonfateal MI or death
TIMI/GRACE risk score
accelerating sx
age
character of pain
ecg change
bio markers
What does fred welt do regarding pt with lysis and 50% reduction in stemi and imrpvoed paoin
he calls in the team and waits the 3 -12 hours post (he’s lying).
CCS class in most trecent gl
now lumped together.
determing Stress test risk category high risk (5
High risk
- LV EF < 35%
- resting perfousion abn > 10%
- stress ECG including > 2 mm ST depression at low workload or presisting into recovery or STE
- TID
- WMA/ ischemia 2 oronary beds or LM
CAC > 400
CAC score impt high risk
400
400
CAC score high risk
to be fully appropriate for p lad in SCIHD with pLAD + another vessel need what for PCI
basically need to have high risk stress or DM and need to be sx or ffr +
LM disease PCI for boards
generally for ostial or midvessel -otherwwise be conservative
