Q

sharing/disclosing info when

A

Consent from the patient: patient provides explicit consent for the disclosure of their information, the dentist is allowed to share the relevant information with the specified party or parties.

Legal requirement: e.g in response to a court order, subpoena, or other legal processes. Disclose only the minimum necessary information required by law and should seek legal advice if in doubt.

Public interest: compelling reason to believe that the disclosure of patient information is necessary to protect public health or prevent serious harm to others e.g cases of serious communicable diseases or instances where the patient poses a risk to the safety of others.

Safeguarding concerns: concerns about a patient’s safety or suspects abuse, they may be required to disclose confidential information to social services or the police, in order to protect the patient or others

Clinical audit or research: done in a way that protects patient confidentiality e.ganonymizing or aggregating the data so that individual patients cannot be identified.

Sharing information with other healthcare professionals: involved in the patient’s care, such as physicians, specialists, or other members of the dental team. Done on a need-to-know basis, and the shared information should be relevant to the patient’s treatment or care.

59
Q

consent not required when

Can be used to ID new disease outcomes and generate hypotheses

77
Q

case-control stude

Study involving people with a disease and a suitable control group of people without disease, look back in time to a particular risk factor in both groups and can be used to look at potential cause of disease

Confounding bias, recall/selection bias, selection of controls, time relationships

78
Q

case-control study

A

Study involving people with a disease and a suitable control group of people without disease, look back in time to a particular risk factor in both groups and can be used to look at potential cause of disease

dusadv - Confounding bias, recall/selection bias, selection of controls, time relationships

79
Q

cross sectional study

A

An observation of a defined population at a single point in time (or time interval)
Exposure and outcome are determined and measures at the same time
Used to estimate disease prevalence and to investigate potential risk factors

disadv - Causality, confounding bias and recall bias

80
Q

cohort study

A

Used to measure exposure in an established group of individuals that develop disease (outcome of interest)
Estimate incidence and investigate cause of disease, determine prognosis and timing and direction of events

clinical trial - GOLD standard for effectiveness and efficacy
specification of particpants (inc/excl criteria), control randomisation and blinding

compiling data from multiple RCTs
most scietifically sound form of research paper as results from mutliple different papers investigating same topic are collated, noted and analysed

difference between incidence rates in exposed and non-exposed groups, risks attributes to factor being investigated

85
Q

relative risk

A

ratio of incidence in exposed group Vs non-exposed group

measurement of proportionate/realtive inc in disease rates of exposed groups
makes allowance for frequency of disease amoungst people not exposed to harmful agent

Q

determinant

A

Attribute/circumstance which affects the liability of an individual to be exposed or when exposed to develop disease

89
Q

confounding variable

A

minor variable which is left uncontrolled which may/may not have an effect on results

90
Q

absolute risk difference

A

difference risk between groups

value of no difference ARD=0
indicating no benefit/risk to either group
* E.g. ARD 2.2 [-1.1 to 3.3] = not statistically significant as it overlaps 0; ARD 3.5 [1.1-6.0] = statistically significant as it doesn’t overlap 0
* When CI overlaps 0 indicates insufficient evidence for a difference between tx and control groups (evidence not statistically significant)

91
Q

confidence interval

A

Range of values that the ARD will take in population

95% of time will contain true mean

overlaps the ‘value of no difference’ between treatments indicates that there is insufficient evidence for a difference between the treatment and control group in the population

92
Q

number needed to treat

A

Number of pts that have to be trated to prevent ne pt from developing the disease/condition/outcome
1/ARD

93
Q

risk ratio is

A

robability of outcome in exposed group Vs probability of outcome in nonexposed group

**Value of no difference is 1 **
E.g. RR 2.2 [1.1-3.3] = statistically significant as it doesn’t overlap 1; RR 1.5 [0.3-3.6]=not statistically significant as it does overlap 1

Sufficient evidence if CI do not overlap 1
