difference between case-control and cohort study
case-control: sample based on presence or absence of disease
cohort: subjects followed over time to see who gets the disease
describe meta-analysis
pooling data from several studies to get greater statistical power
4 kinds of bias
selection bias - nonrandom assignment
recall bias - knowledge of d/o alters recall
sampling bias - subjects not representative
late-look bias - info obtained at inappropriate time
4 ways to reduce bias
blind studies, placebo responses, crossover studies, randomization
incidence x disease duration is approximately =
prevalence
high ___ for a screening test
sensitivity
high ____ for a confirmatory test
specificity
false negative rate =
1 - Sn
false positive rate =
1 - Sp
Sn vs. PPV
Sn: number of TP divided by number of people with disease
a/(a+c)
PPV: number of TP divided by number of people who test (+) for disease
a/(a+b)
specificity vs NPV
sp: number of true (-) divided by # of people who don't have the disease
d/(b+d)
NPV: number of true (-) divided by # of people who test (-) for the disease
d/(c+d)
OR used for ___ studies; RR used for ___ studies
case-control; cohort
How is OR calculated?
ad/bc; number with disease divided by number w/o disease
What does OR approximate if the prevalence of disease is not too high?
RR
How is RR calculated?
a/(a+b) / c/(c+d);
number with disease divided by number in group
random error vs systematic error
random: reduced precision
systematic: reduced accuracy
mean > median leads to ___ skew
positive
mean < median leads to ____ skew
negative
type I error
to accept H1 when H0 is true; ie. stating there is an effect when none exists
alpha
type II error
to fail to reject H0 when H0 is false; ie stating there is NO effect when an effect DOES exist
beta
probability of rejecting H0 when it is in fact false
power
what does power depend on?
total number of end points, difference in compliance between treatment groups, size of expected effect
SEM =
sigma / sqrt n
range of values in which a specified prob of means of repeated samples would be expected to fall
confidence interval
