24
Q

Systematic review

A

Highly detailed review of literature

Authors must exhaust search efforts

Broadly covers a topic but includes all relevant articles

25
Q

Meta analysis includes a systematic review and what else?

A

Review and quantitative pooling of data for a statistical analysis

26
Q

When is data statistically significant on a forest plot?

A

When it crosses the vertical line

27
Q

What does it mean if the forest plot has a larger box?

A

Larger sample size

28
Q

CPG

A

Summaries of evidence to guide examination and treatment

29
Q

Research design validity

A

Relates to the choices made with research design (does the design help us measure and talk about what we intended to)

30
Q

Internal validity

A

Blinding, randomization, less bias

31
Q

External validity

A

32
Q

What is a highly controlled research design?

A

Internal validity

33
Q

What is a pragmatic research design?

A

External validity

34
Q

Efficacy

A

Benefit of a treatment delivered in a highly controlled and ideal environment

35
Q

Effectiveness

A

Benefit of a treatment delivered in a pragmatic manner under real world conditions

36
Q

Independent variable

A

Something you manipulate (measures)

37
Q

Dependent variable

A

What we measure (outcomes)

38
Q

Construct

A

Dependent variable

51
Q

Reliability

A

Describes the extent to which a test or measurement is free from error

52
Q

Intra rater reliability

A

Degree the examiner agrees with himself

53
Q

Validity

A

Degree to which a test measures what it’s suppose to be measuring

54
Q

Face validity

A

Degree to which the questions on a test make sense to the users

55
Q
