Q

Meta-Relative Risk - Interpretations (3) + Calculation

A

Interpretation
1 = No Difference Between Groups
> 1 = Event more likely to occur in the experimental group (e.g. drug causes risk increase)
< 1 = Event less likely to occur in the experimental group (e.g. drug causes risk reduction)
Key = What is the outcome measure - If you are looking at readmission you want it to be less in experimental

% of Events in Experiemental
/
% of Events in the Control

E.g. 5 of 100 have relapse in experimental vs. 10 of 100 in control
0.05 / 0.1 = Relative Risk Reduction of 50%

Q

Funnel Plot - Definition + Example (2)

A

A funnel plot is a graph used designed to check for the existence of publication bias; funnel plots are commonly used in systematic reviews and meta-analyses. In the absence of publication bias, it assumes that the largest studies will be plotted near the average, and smaller studies will be spread evenly on both sides of the average, creating a roughly funnel-shaped distribution. Deviation from this shape can indicate publication bias.

Largest Study (Biggest y) should be closest to the middle (average) while smaller studies are more likely to be scattered 
Large Studies = Pyramid Tip

Big Bite in one Bottom Corner = Missing studies that show one effect - pushes the mean the other way
Missing Most of the Bottom = Low Methodological Quality of small studies = smaller bias vs. leaving studies out

36
Metabolic Compensation Equations - Acidosis + Alkalosis
Acidosis - PCO2 = 1.5 * Bicarb + 8 +/- 2 Met. Acidosis = Hyperventilation to blow off all the CO2 and try to get back to normal Alkalosis - PCO2 = 0.7 * Bicarb + 20 +/- 5 Met Alkalosis = Hypoventilatlion to save all the acidic CO2 and try to get back to normal
