Base rate effect
Look for more exotic diseases and ignore more common
Framing effect
Patient comes up “packaged” from the ED and it is not questioned further

Relative Risk
Incidence of disease in exposed to risk
over incidence of disease in unexposed
Emmanual Principles of Allocation
- Improving health outcomes
- Reduce conflict of interest
- Patients should be informed
- Patients should be able to consent
Type I error
Rejecting the null hypothesis (saying there is a difference when there is not one) a false positive
What is a measure of chance?
p value < 0.05
Type II Error
Errounsaly accepting null hypothesis, saying there isn’t difference when there is one
Power
how likely you are to be right, ability of a study to detect a difference that is present
Power is 1- beta
80%
T test
Cohort studies- can calculate what?
Need large population
Prospective or retrospective observational patients when outcomes emerge
Relative Risk Risk of exposed/unexposed
Case control- can calculate what?
Have outcome, seeing what risk factors caused
Good for rare evens
Can’t do relative risk because manipulating the incidence
