cohort studies

A

-observational study that compares COHORT who share COMMON CHARATERISTIC; with and without the exposure
- type of LONGITUDINAL study
- ex framingham study - ex residents of framingham is whats in common, and follows to see heart data
- prospective: over period of time in future

Q

case control studies

A

Compare group of individuals with specific condition with group of people without same condition
- observational
- ex group of older women: age matched 15 with chronic LBP and 15 w/o chronic LBP to see if it affects pain

Q

interval data

A
  • quantitative
  • NO true 0, can have negatives
  • ex. temp
17
Q

ratio data

A
  • quantitative
  • true 0
  • highest level of measurement
  • ex height, money
18
Q

Reliability
Types of reliabiliy

A

Consistency of measure, extent of research instrument to consistently have same results with used on multiple occasions
- intra-rater: test performed by 1 person several times, use equipment that already know is reliable
- inter-rater: test performed by 2+ ppl on testing 1 variable
- test-retest reliability: same test to same subjects on 2 occasions, testing new equipment that dont know is reliable

19
Q

Validity

A

-consistency of instrument or measure
- extent to which instrument used is measuring what you want it to measure

20
Q

concurrent validity

A
  • strongest form
  • test performed and compared to GOLD stanard and test results are matched
21
Q

content validity

A
  • test measure specifically what patient problem is
  • ex for balance/fall risk - use TUG
22
Q

construct validity

A
  • test should measure what its supposed to measure
  • ex using specific tool: goni
23
Q

face validity

A
  • weakest form
  • outcome measure should measure what it looks like it will based on patient problem
  • what it appears to measure
24
Q

type I error

A

falsely reject null
false +

25
Q

type II error

A

falsely accept null
false -

26
Q

Sensitivity

A
  • ability to ID trule disease WITHOUT LEAVING ANYONE OUT
  • few false negatives
  • SNOUT
27
Q

specificity

A

ability to be CORRECTLY NEGATIVE in ABSENCE OF DISEASE without mislabeling
- few false positives
-SPIN
