Notes from Lectures Flashcards
Relative Risk
incidence in exposed / incidence in unexposed
Odds Ratio
Probability that dz developed / probability that it did not develop
AR
incidence in exposed - incidence in nonexposed
NNT
1 / (rate in untreated - rate in treated)
Sensitivity
TP/ (TP +FN)
Specificity
TN / (TN + FP)
Sens + Spec are ___ of prevalence
independent
vs NPV & PPV are dependent on prevalence
