Chapter 36, Problem 3DAA
Summary Introduction
To explain: Which group between the blacks living in New York and the whites living in the stroke belt has the higher rate of stroke deaths.
Concept introduction: Stroke is a medical condition in which poor blood flow to the brain leads to cell death. Early action can minimize brain damage and potential complications. It can happen to anyone at any time. It occurs when blood flow to an area of brain is interrupted. When brain cells die in a stroke, functions that are controlled by that area of the brain such as memory and muscle control are lost.

Two new tests (A and B) have been developed to diagnose gout. The following tables provide information on the number of individuals testing positive or negative and their true status:
Calculate the sensitivity, specificity, and positive predictive values for both tests.
b) Imagine a situation where the consequences of false negative test results are worse than a false positive test. For example, patients that have gout but test negative may not be treated properly and develop other complications. Which test would you use in this situation? Why?

Analysis using instrumental variables," McClellan, McNeil, and Newhouse, the authors study whether the use of more aggressive procedure, cardiac catheterization, in elderly patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) impacts 4-year mortality rates (post AMI). However, the authors point out that there are important observable and unobservable differences between patients who receive more intensive treatments vs. those who do not. To address this issue, the authors' group patients into whether they live relatively close to a hospital that performs these more intensive treatments (such as cardiac catheterization) or relatively far from such hospitals.
