Quiz 4 Flashcards
Type of research design that uses odds ratios
Case control
Goal of cohort and case control studies are to estimate magnitude of association between a blank and a blank
Exposure, outcome
Cohort is selection based on blank
Exposure
How much more or less likely an exposed person is to develop the disease compared to an unexposed person
Relative risk
Rr greater than 1
Greater risk of disease
Converts risk to a percentage and assumes 100 percent for unexposed group
Percent relative effect
Case control studies are always blank because they look at outcome
Retrospective
Number of times an event happens relative to some total
Probability
Number of times an event happens relative to the number of times it does not happen
Odds
We deal with blank not blank because we don’t have the total
Odds, probability
Odds ratio can be used to estimate blank
Relative risk
Odds ratios are only interpreted blank rather than blank like relative risk
Qualitatively, quantitatively
In a confidence interval of relative risk, if blank is included in the interval then what
There is no difference
A rr above blank should be a concern
3
An odds ratio above blank should be of concern
