OBSERVATIONAL STUDIES Flashcards
systemic review that uses quantitative methods to summarize results
meta analysis systemic review randomized controlled trials cohort study cross sectional case control study
Meta analysis
authors searched for appraised and summarized all medical literature for specicifc topic
meta analysis systemic review randomized controlled trials cohort study cross sectional case control study
systemic review
study gathers group regardless of risk or if they have disease or not and compare in single point of time
meta analysis systemic review randomized controlled trials cohort study cross sectional case control study
cross sectional study
identifies 2 groups of ptnts, one that has disease and one that did not and follow these groups forward for outcome of interest
meta analysis systemic review randomized controlled trials cohort study cross sectional case control study
Cohort , prospective study
cohort = 2 groups
prospective ( look in the future)
study looked into the past that compares people that have the disease to people that do not have disease and looks back to see how risk for disease compares to actually getting it
meta analysis systemic review randomized controlled trials cohort study cross sectional case control study
case control study
case control = retrospect ( the past)
epidemiological study that looks at entire population simultaneously at one point in time (collect data from many different individuals at a single point in time.)
meta analysis systemic review randomized controlled trials cohort study cross sectional case control study
CROSS SECTIONAL STUDY ( one point of time) = PREVALENCE ( people who have issue at specific point of time)
EX: SURVEYS
timed study that looks at certain set of people over extended period of time
meta analysis systemic review randomized controlled trials cohort study longitudinal study cross sectional case control study
LONGITUDINAL STUDY (longitudinal = long time
what determines relative risk ration?

COHORT
OO= RR
what type of study determines odds ration
meta analysis systemic review randomized controlled trials cohort study longitudinal study cross sectional case control study
case control study
two existing groups differing in outcome are identified and compared on the basis of some supposed causal attribute.
reduce certain sources of bias when testing the effectiveness of new treatments by comparing experimental group with control group

RANDOMIZED CONTROLLED TRIALS
medicine given to group anad placeebo to another to see if medicine work
study looked at lung cancer patients to see if smoking caused it. this is an example if what study?
meta analysis systemic review randomized controlled trials cohort study longitudinal study cross sectional case control study
CASE CONTROL STUDY : ODDS RATION !!
look at disease and see odds due to smoking
a study was conducted to see if smokers who do not have cancer will develop it overtime?
meta analysis systemic review randomized controlled trials cohort study longitudinal study cross sectional case control study
COHORT= PREVALENCE ( watch over time)
a study was conducted that looked at lung cancer patients to see if smoking had any correlation to it
meta analysis systemic review randomized controlled trials cohort study longitudinal study cross sectional case control study
CASE CONTROL STUDY (retrospective)
- have disease look back in time at history
researcher trying to find prevelance of a disease in a moment of time.

CROSS SECTIONAL STUDY
EX: measure CURRENT obesity levels in a population, we could draw a sample of 1,000 people randomly from that population (also known as a cross section of that population), measure their weight and height, and calculate what percentage of that sample is categorized as obese
An observational study that compares the relationship between oral cancer and male smokers at a single point of time
