Q

what is the order of evidence in total

A

1) meta analysis
2) Systematic review of RCTS
3) single RCT
4) systematic review of controlled observational study
5) single controlled observational study (cohort is better than case control)
6) single uncontrlled observational study (case series better than case report) btu the rest in line with cross sectional and ecological
7) physiologic studies (blood pressure, etc)
8) unsystematic clinical observations (anecdotes, subjectives)

17
Q

what is cohort?

A

follow up, longitudinal

groups followed over time to see if a symptom develops

18
Q

what is a hazard ratio?

A

similar to releative risk, risk ratio
often used interchangably with relative risk even though its calculated differently
calculated using survival analysis
relativ erisk calculates risk over a certain time span

hazard ratio calculates risk at a particularpoint in time
sinterpreted in a similar fassion

19
Q

what does a relative risk of 1 mean

A

no difference

20
Q

what does a relative risk >1 mean

A

higher (one is more harmful than the other)

21
Q

what is relative risk?

A

probability of an outcome in an exposed group to the probability of an outcome in an unexposed group

22
Q
