Q

What is a method that can be used to ensure Px has understood you?

A

teach-back method

24
Q

True or false- duration of consult will be lengthened because of shared decision making?

A

FALSE - happens throughout consult too

25
True or false- Px's will be unsupported when making healthcare decisions?
FALSE- Px's not forced to make decision by themselves
26
True or false- not every Px wants to share decision making process with clinician
FALSE- evidence shows otherwise
27
True or false- not every Px can participate in shared decision making
FALSE | - decrease inequity so engage vulnerable people
28
Does engaging Px's with shared decision making increase their anxiety?
NO | - decisional conflict is not the same as anxiety
29
True or false- shared decision making is the same as informed consent?
FALSE
30
Should what clinicians inform px's about in terms of benefits, harms and options be determine by what a 'reasonable Px' deems important or by what a 'group of clinicians' deems important?
What a reasonable Px deems as important is more important in shared decision making than what clinicians think
31
Can we assess the quality of decision aids?
YES- using IPDAS (international patient decision aid standards)
32
What is the best way to communicate the following statistic --> "there is a 20% risk of a side effect"
WHAT NOT TO DO: "there is a 20% chance that you will have side effect with intervention" - px can interpret as they will have side effect 20% of time WHAT TO DO: "of every 100 Px's having this intervention, 20 experience the side effect"
33
What is the best way to communicate the following statistic --> “By having a screening test, your risk of dying from the disease is reduced by 50%”
- large number can be misleading so Px thinks reduction in death is large - INSTEAD SAY: "“Your baseline risk of dying from the disease is 1 out of 1000. By undergoing the screening test, this is reduced by half, or to 1 out of 2000”
34
Define probability:
Chance of event occurring b/w 0 and 1 | can be %
35
Types of probability:
- single probability | - conditional probability
36
What is single probability
20% chance you will have side effect
37
What is conditional probability
probability of event given that another event has occurred | - e.g. if Px has disease, probability +ve screening test for disease is 90%
38
Define odds ratio
odds or something being true in one group compared to another group
39
Let’s say we find 10 myopes in a sample of 45 people * The odds of any one individual being a myope is: * The probability (or risk) of an individual being a myope is:
- ODDS --> 10:35 (or 10 to 35 or 0.29 to 1) (denominator is remainder) - PROBABILITY --> 10/45 (or 0.22) (denominator is total)
40
Are odds and risks the same?
NO- but often similar (esp. in rare case)
41
How to calculate: Control Event Rare (CER)
probability of developing outcome for control group CER=c/c+d Outcome YES Outcome NO Treatment A b Control c d
42
Experimental Event Rate (EER)
probability of developing outcome for experimental group EER = a / (a+b) Outcome YES Outcome NO Treatment A b Control c d
43
Relative Risk (RR):
``` ratio of (probability of developing outcome in treatment groups) / (probability of developing outcome in control group) RR = EER/CER ```
44
Absolute Risk Reduction (ARR):
ARR = CER-EER | difference in rates of adverse events b/w control and experimental groups
45
Relative Risk Reduction (RRR):
RRR = (CER-EER)/CER | extent to which treatment reduces risk compared to no treatment
46
Number needed to treat (NNT):
NNT = 1/ARR = 1 / (CER-EER) i. e. no of px's needed to treat to prevent one adverse outcome - ideally want 1 (every treated Px prevents adverse effect) - usually >1
47
Should we communicate probabilities to Px?
no- communicate natural frequencies
48
What should we avoid communicating statistically to Px's?
probabilities and percentages- can be misleading
49
What statistics should we communicate with Px?
- natural frequencies (e.g. 1 in 20) | - absolute risk reductions > relative risk reductions
50
Is it better to communicate relative or absolute risk reduction?
absolute risk reduction | - relative can be misleading
51
How can we avoid Px's misinterpreting statistics?
communicate baseline
52
Should we communicate number needed to treat?
NO- difficult to understand
53
Words or numbers?
numbers (instead of very common, rare etc.)
54
Should you present info in positive or negative manner?
Both
55
Main considerations for format of communications with px?
- Px preference - Px literacy level - Px cognitive ability / impairments - resource available - time
