Your screening facility can process 1,000 people per week. Assume you are attempting the early detection of a disease with a prevalence of 2%, and your test has a sensitivity of 95% and a specificity of 90%. D- what is the positive predictive value of the screening test? E- what is the negative predictive value of the screening test? F- what would happen to the negative predictive value of the screening test if the prevalence was 5%?
Current national data show that injuries from motor vehicle accidents are a major cause of mortality, morbidity and disability. They represent a particularly important health problem from the perspective of years of potential life lost. Analyze the problem of injuries from motor vehicle accidents from an epidemiological perspective (including current distributions by population; and host, time, and environmental factors): Based on your analysis, describe potential prevention initiatives that may warrant consideration:
What patterns do you detect? Often in disease outbreak investigations we want to see a pattern for a particular problem. Think back to the 'white board' approach from a previous question and consider the types of information about individuals that may help you look for patterns. Select from the list below attributes that may help you You can chosse all or some I choose Time of disease onset and occuption but there is more I guess Occupation Hair color Gender Weight Age Time of disease onset
An enzyme immunoassay for the detection of chlamydia trachomatis in cervical specimens has a sensitivity of 75% and a specificity of 98% when compared with culture. This test will be used by an HMO to screen women of reproductive age who are receiving their annual examination. A previous study, which used culture to screen 1000 women, determined that the prevalence of infection was 2%. In this population, which of the following is the predictive value of a positive screening test?

Match the following study types to their definition below: case control study, randomized controlled trial, registry, Inv estigational Device Exemptions (IDE) Prospectively comparing the outcomes of patients randomly assigned to be treated with a new device or procedure relative to a control group that may receive no treatment or standard treatment A. Case control study Monitoring outcomes through a collection of cases performed in a real world, which may be accumulated either prospectively or retrospectively after a number of cases have been performed B. Registry - ~ Retrospectively comparing the outcomes of a group of patients treated with a new device or procedure to a matched group receiving no treatment or a standard treatment C. Investigational Device Exemptions (IDE) - ~ Allows a device to be used in a clinical study in order to collect safety and effectiveness data. D. Randomized controlled trial
A screening test for a disease is being evaluated against the current screening test (e.g., the gold standard test). The new test was administered to 3000 participants. Of those, 600 who had been previously diagnosed using the gold standard test were positive on the new screening test, and 200 who had been previously diagnosed using the gold standard test were negative on the new screening test. Also, 300 participants who were negative on the gold standard screening test were positive on the new test. What is the positive predictive value of the new screening test, using the gold standard test as evidence of disease?
