Statistics
- Confidence Intervals
- Confidence that the effect from trial would be replicable to entire population
- Mean difference= if includes 0 then not statically significant
- Relative risk/Odds ration = 1 not statically significant
- Odds ratio= the odds of the outcome occuring with the exposure
compared to (divided by) the odds of the outcome occuring without the exposure
- = 1 then same odds for both
- <1 then outcome is more likely to occur without exposure
- >1 then outcome more likely to occur with exposure
- Width shows precision of estimate
- 95% CI
- probability that population would lie between two values is 0.95
- P value
- Probability that the observed difference between 2 groups in down to chance
- Needs to be below 0.05 to be statically significant
- Number needed to treat is a reciprocal of absolute risk.
- Absolute risk reduction- difference in probabilitiy that outcome will be achieved
in control and intervention groups
- Probability that outcome will occur in exposed group Experimental Event Rate EER
- Probability that outcome will occur in non-exposed group Control Event Rate CER
- Relative risk = EER/CER
- Absolute risk reduction = CER-EER
- Number needed to treat
- Number of people needed to treat for one person to benefit from intervention
- Screening
- Primary prevention
- Prevents disease before it occurs
- Other types of prevention
- Secondary
- Pick up disease early
- Tertiary
- Limit amount of damage disease does
- Sensitivity
- How likely test is able to detect all cases
- If high low false negatives
- TP/TP+FN
- Specificity
- How likely test is able to pick up just the disease you want
- TN/TN+FP
- If high= low false positives (high true negatives)
- Positive predictive value
- TP/TP+FP
- Negative predictive value
- TN/TN+FN
- Heterogeneity
- How similar studies are in meta-analysis
- Meta-analysis is pooling of quantitive data
- Systematic review
- Non- bias summary of data
- Displayed on forest plot
- I2 test- 0-100% <25% little/no heterogeneity
- Cochrane Q test
- P<0.05 heterogeneity= bad
- Publication bias
- Funnel plot test
- Egger's or Begg's test
- smaller p= greater evidence of publication bias
- Trim-and-fill method
- Calculates values with adjustments for publication bias
- Fail safe N- number of studies required to change the statistical significance of the overall result
- Standardised mortality ratio SMR= observed injuries/expected injuries *100
- Expected injuries is from reference populatio
- SMR of reference population =100
- if >100 then worse than ref. population
- Haddon Matrix
- Approach to prevention
- Table- pre event, event, post event on y axis
- Host/agent/physical environment/social environment
- Types of study
- Case control- start with disease, look at exposure
- Odds of exposure in those with the disease/ odds of exposure in those without the disease
- Cohort- start with exposure, look for disease
- Relative risk
- Risk of disease in exposed group/ risk of disease in unexposed group
- Economics
- Opportunity cost
- Benefits of then next best thing which
you aren't choosing, hence missing out on
- Cost of illness studies
- How much an illness costs
- Kinda useless
- Economic Evaluation
- Compares multiple things on costs
- Takes into account costs and consequences (benefits)
- Systematic
- Types
- Cost effectiveness
- i.e £ per life saved/ case detected etc
- Cost-utility analysis
- £ per QALY
- Cost-benefit analysis
- best
- Benefit-cost in £
- Can only use if benefit can be measure in £
