Risk Assesment Flashcards
Risk Factors
Increase likelihood of disease when present
Cross Sectional
+
Longitudinal evidence—> Smoking, Diabetes
Risk Indicator
Identified in cross sectional studies but not confirmed longitudinally
—> association not causation (a probably risk factor)
Obesity Stress Genetics Age Gender
Risk Determinants
Are non modifiable cant change
Age, gender, genetic factors, socioeconomic
Risk Predictor
Elevated risk but may not be a part of casual change
Cross sectional or longitudinal
-identify who is at risk:
BOP, previous perio, remaining teeth, calculus, furcation, poor restorations
Probably or putative risk factors
Microbiota=necessary but not sufficient to cause disease
Inflammation= necessary but not sufficient to cause disease
Odds Ratio is a way of comparing
Whether the probability of a certain event is the same for 2 groups
Odds ratio equation
P(1-p)/q(1-q)
Smoking odds ratio
2.5-3.7
Odds of developing perio vs non smoker 16X
Diabetes mellitus odds ratio
2.8-3.4
Odds of develop perio vs non diabetic 12-15x
Etiologic factor
Variable contributing to the cause of the disease
Risk Assessment
Variable associated with increased chance of developing disease
