27
Q

What are exploratory studies?

A

Answer the research question, explore the if the drug is effective. Great for proving causation but external validity is bad

28
Q

What are Pragmatic studies?

A

More flexibility for researchers. We can lose precision of controlling. Confounders.

29
Q

What are the 4 designs of interventional studies?

A

Simple, Factorial, Parallel, and Cross over

30
Q

What is Factorial intervenitonal study design?

A

Divides (Randomizes) subjects into 2 or less groups and then further sub-divides each othe groups into less than 2 addional sub groups

31
Q

What is the Factorial study design used to test?

A

Multiple hypotheses at the same time.

32
Q

What are 5 things that Factorial study design can do?

A

Improves efficiency for answering clinical questions. Increases study population sample size. Increases complexity. Increases risk of drop outs. May restrict generalizability of results.

33
Q

What is Simple study design?

A

Divides randomizes subjects into less than 2 groups.

34
Q

What is used to test in a simple Study design?

A

Single hypothesis

35
Q

What is Parallel study design?

A

A study on which pts are in a group they need to be in they stay in that group for the rest of the study. Can not switch groups.

36
Q

True or false? All simple and Factorial study designs are not Parallel

A

False. They are all parallel.

37
Q

What is the cross over study design?

A

Is a study that allows pts to be treated in one group and switch into another study. A crossover in a graph will always have an arrow that crosses over in a study meaning that pts can cross over.

38
Q

What is wash-out pertaining to crossover period?

A

washout which means a period of time on the calendar that we are not giving pts any treatments we want the old effects in the first group to get out of their system.

39
Q

What is the Lead in phase pertaining to crossover period?

A

there are studies that pts have a disease and their doc is treating them that such that study wont let them be on the drugs before they can start. We tend to use the before the study starts called LEAD IN phase.

40
Q

What are the disadvantages of cross over?

A

Suitable for long term conditional only that arnt curable or treatment only provides a short term relief. Complex data. Duration of study longer. carry over effects during cross over. Smaller N requirement.

41
Q

What are the 3 outcomes endpoints to interventional study designs?

A

Primary, Secondary and composite

42
Q

What is the primary outcome?

A

Most important key outcome

43
Q

What is the secondary outcome?

A

Less importance

44
Q

What is the composite outcome?

A

Combines multiple endpoints into a single outcome

45
Q

What are some examples inf patient orientated endpoints (POEMS)?

A

Death, stroke. MI, hospitalization.

46
Q

What are some examples of disease oriented endpoints (DOEs)?

A

Blood pressure, cholesterol, change in SCr

47
Q

What is non random group allocation?

A

Subjects dont have an equal prob of being selected or assigned to each intervention group.

48
Q

What is random group allocation?

A

Most common, subjects do have an equal probability of being assigned to each intervention group.

49
Q

What is the purpose of randomization?

A

To make groups as equal as possible based on known and unknown important factors (cofounders).

50
Q

During randomization what is no guaranteed?

A

Equality of groups

51
Q

What are 3 forms of randomization?

A

Simple, blocked and stratified

52
Q

What is simple pertaining to randomization?

A

Equal prob for allocation within one of the study groups

53
Q

What is blocked pertaining to randomization?

A

Ensures balance within each intervention group. ex: every 10th pts we are going to stop and take a peak of the groups so that they are unequal we will be more heavy handed on the others. Like if we are flipping the coin and its like 6 to 2, we are putting the other pts in the low number.

54
Q

What is stratified pertaining to randomization?

A

Ensures balance with known confounding variables. Ex: gender age, disease.

55
Q

What are the three masking types?

A

Single-blind, double-blind, and open-label

56
Q

What is single blind?

A

Subjects not informed which intervention group they are in. Researchers are permitted to know

57
Q

What is Double blind?

A

Neither researchers nor study subjects know which intervention group the subjects are in

58
Q

What is open label?

A

Subjects and researchers know what intervention is being received.

59
Q

What are the 2 forms of blinding?

A

Placebo and double dummy

60
Q

What is placebo?

A

Inert treatments made to look identical in all aspects to the active treatments

61
Q

What is double dummy?

A

more than 1 placebo used

62
Q

What is the placebo effect?

A

Improvement in condition by power of suggestion of being treated

63
Q

What is the Hawthorne effect?

A

study subjects change their behavior sue to their realization that they are being watched

64
Q

What are two things you can do when dealing with drop outs/lost to follow ups?

A

Ignore them or treat them as treated

65
Q

What are 3 ways to assess complicance of pts?

A

Drug levels, pill counts at each visit and bottle counter tops

66
Q

What are 3 ways of improving compliance of pts?

A

Frequent follow up visits, treatment alarms, medication blister packs or dosage containers.
