RR - equation review Flashcards
Sensitivity
SN = TP / (TP + FN)
True positives / total with disease
Specificity
SP = TN / (TN + FP)
True negatives / total without disease
Positive predictive value
PPV = TP / (TP + FP)
True positives / total positives
Negative predictive value
NPV = TN / (TN + FN)
True negatives / total negatives
Odds ratio
OR = (a/c) / (b/d) = ad/bc
Relative risk
RR = a/(a+b) / c/(c+d)
Attributable risk
Attributable risk = a/(a+b) - c/(c+d)
NNT
NNT = 1/ARR
Number needed to harm
1/attributable risk
BMI
BMI = weight in kg/(height in m)^2
Hardy Weinberg equilibrium
p^2 + 2pq + q^2 = 1
p + q = 1
Volume of distribution
Vd = amount of drug in body / plasma drug concentration
Half life
t1/2 = (0.7 x Vd) / CL
Drug clearance
CL = rate of elimination of drug / plasma drug concentration CL = Vd x Ke (elimination constant)
Loading dose
LD = Cp x (Vd/F)
F is bioavailability
