Equations/Pharm/Biostat Flashcards
Filtration Fraction?
GFR/RPF = Cr Clear/PAH Clear
Drugs with zero order kinetics?
“PEAs shaped like zero” Phenytoin, Ethanol, Aspirin
Vd?
Vd= Amount of Drug Given/Concentration of Drug in Serum Nb: most of the time Vd will be given in L/Kg therefore you need to multiply by the mass of person
Clearance?
Cl=0.7*Vd/half life
Loading dose?
Loading Dose=Vd * Conc at steady state
Maintenance dose
Maintenance dose=Clearance * conc at steady state
Hardy Weinberg: NB: Frequencies in an x-linked rec trait?
p+q=1 p^2 + 2pq + q^2 = 1 Males=q; females q^2
Cyp P450 Inhibitors and inducers?
PICCKEGS (cimetidine and cipro)
Protease Inhibitors, INH, Cimetindine AND CIPRO, Ketoconazole, Erythromycin, Grapefruit Juice, Sulfonamides
BCG PQRS (phenytoin/phenobartibtol is inducer)
-Barbiutes, Carbemezepine, Griseofulvin, Phenytoin, Quinidine, Rifampin, St John’s Wart, Crhonic ETOH
Confidence interval formula?
CI=Mean+- Z*SEM (Z usually ~2 for 95%) SEM: STDEV/sqrt(sample size)
Case Control vs Cohort?
Case control: Group based on disease and look at risk factors: ODDS RATIO
Cohort: Group based on risk factors and look at disease outcome: RELATIVE RISK
Cross sectional Study?
Snap shot of population at a particular time. Tells you prevelance, cannot tell you incidence or causality (but can infer some risk factor association with it)
Clincal Trial phases?
1) Is it safe?
2) Does it work?
3) Is it better?
4) Survalience for unknown SEs.
Bias of a Meta-analysis?
Selection bias based on what studies the examiners decide to inclue/throw out
Screen test is good to have a high?
Sensitivity
As frequency of disease change what variables change?
PPV and NPV.
Sens and spec do not as these characteristics are inherent to the test
Sens
Spec
PPV
NPV
Sens: TP/(TP+FN)
Spec: TN/(TN+FP)
PPV: TP/(TP+FP)
NPV: TN/(TN+FN)
