patient presented to the modern physician.

invariably leaves physicians vulnerable to legal action.
q q q q q q q


D. Where different organizations disagree regarding practice guidelines, a third-party agency has been

q q q q q q q q


C. In 2010, ischemic heart disease was the leading cause of death among adults.
q q q q q q q q q q q q


D. In the last two decades, mortality attributed to communicable diseases, maternal and perinatalconditions,

I-6. You are appointed to a governmental healthcare advisory subcommittee concerned with addressing problems
q q q q q q q q q q q q q


q facing the global health community. Your task is to draw general conclusions from the global fight against
q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q


q tuberculosis (TB) and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)/acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) that
q q q q q q q q q q


q may be applied in combatting other diseases, including noncommunicable diseases. Which of the following

q conclusions is reasonable when considering HIV/AIDS and TB as chronic diseases?
q q q q q q q q q q



A. Barriers to adequate healthcare and patient adherence imposed by extreme poverty must beconcomitantly

the treatment’s value and increases compliance and overall public health.
q q q q q q q q q q


C. Despite adequate available tools to practice their trade locally in developing nations, manyphysicians and
q q q q q q q q q q q q q


nurses emigrate to developed nations to practice their respective trades, a phenomenon called “brain
q q q q q q q q q q q q q q


drain.”
q


D. In developed nations where physicians are abundant, community health worker supervision ofthe care of
q q q q q q q q q q q q q


chronically ill patients is not effective.
q q q q q q


E. In the case of chronic infectious diseases, switching from one drug to another through aprolonged course of

treatment provides the highest cure rate by obviating the infectious agent’s ability to develop resistance to

any single drug.

I-7. Mrs. Jones, a 22-year-old African American woman, presents to Dr. Smith, an internal medicine specialist, with
q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q


q a facial rash. Mrs. Jones states that the rash began after spending a day at the beach with her family. She also
q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q


q notes that her metacarpophalangeal and proximal interphalangeal joints have been painful and swollen for the
q q q q q q q q q q q q q q


q preceding 2 weeks. On examination, the joints are swollen and tender. Laboratory analysis discloses reduced
q q q q q q q q q q q q q q


q creatinine clearance, proteinuria, and hemolytic anemia. Antinuclear antibodies (a test with a high negative
q q q q q q q q q q q q q


q predictive value for systemic lupus erythematosus) are detected at significant titer, and ultimately, the
q q q q q q q q q q q q q


q diagnosis of systemic lupus erythematosus is made.
q q q q q q


Two weeks later, Mrs. Johnson, a 24-year-old African American woman, presents with a facial rash and elbow
q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q


q pain to Dr. Smith. After a cursory interview and brief physical exam, Dr. Smith sends blood work only testing for
q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q


q antinuclear antibodies. When the test returns negative (no antibodies detected), Dr. Smith presumes this to be
q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q


q a false-negative result and starts Mrs. Johnson on hydroxychloroquine and prednisone for treatment of
q q q q q q q q q q q q q


q systemic lupus erythematosus. Which heuristic(s) did Dr. Smith likely employ in diagnosing Mrs. Johnson with
q q q q q q q q q q q q q q


q systemic lupus erythematosus? q q


A. Availability heuristic q


B. Anchoring heuristic q


C. Bayes’ rule q


D. Confirmation bias q




E. A and B q q




I-8. You have invented a blood test, which you name “veritangin,” to determine if patients are having a myocardial
q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q


q infarction. You devise an experiment to determine the performance of your veritangin assay by testing it versus
q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q


q the troponin assay, the currently accepted gold standard for determining myocardial infarction, in 100 random
q q q q q q q q q q q q q q


q emergency department patients with chest pain. You choose a veritangin result >1 ng/dL as positive for
q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q


q myocardial infarction. Your results are listed in the table below.
q q q q q q q q q

, Which of the following statements regarding the characteristics of the veritangin assay in this trial is true?
q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q



A. The posttest probability of the veritangin test does not depend on the population studied.
q q q q q q q q q q q q q


B. The sensitivity of the veritangin assay depends on the population studied and the diseaseprevalence in that
q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q


population.
q


C. The sensitivity of the veritangin assay will decrease by 50% if you reduce the threshold for apositive result
q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q


to >0.5 ng/dL.
q q q


D. The sensitivity of the veritangin test cannot be calculated based on the above data.
q q q q q q q q q q q q q


E. The specificity of the veritangin assay is 0.93 (70/75).
q q q q q q q q




I-9. You are designing a clinical trial to test the use of a novel anticoagulant, clotbegone, in the treatment of deep
q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q


q vein thrombosis. Which of the following statements regarding the design of the trial is true?
q q q q q q q q q q q q q q



A. An optimal study design would assign many patients to clotbegone and compare their outcomesto the
q q q q q q q q q q q q q q


outcomes of prior (historical) patients not taking clotbegone. This would allow faster trial completion.
q q q q q q q q q q q q q q


B. If the trial returns a positive result (clotbegone is superior to placebo), that means that anypatient with a
q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q


clot would benefit from clotbegone therapy.
q q q q q q


C. Observing the outcomes of patients already taking clotbegone versus patients who are not ispreferable to
q q q q q q q q q q q q q q


assigning patients to clotbegone or placebo in a blinded fashion. The observational strategy is more “real
q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q


world,” applicable to the general population, and free of bias.
q q q q q q q q q q


D. Population selection for the trial enrollment is not important as long as careful attention torandomization
q q q q q q q q q q q q q q


and blinding is observed.
q q q q


E. The advantage of performing a randomized clinical trial of clotbegone over a prospectiveobservational
q q q q q q q q q q q q


study of clotbegone is the avoidance of treatment selection bias.
q q q q q q q q q q




I-10. A receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve is constructed for a new test developed to diagnose disease X.
q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q


qAll of the following statements regarding the ROC curve are true EXCEPT:
q q q q q q q q q q q



A. One criticism of the ROC curve is that it is developed for testing only one test or clinicalparameter with
q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q


exclusion of other potentially relevant data.
q q q q q q


B. ROC curve allows the selection of a threshold value for a test that yields the best sensitivity withthe fewest
q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q


false-positive tests.
q q


C. The axes of the ROC curve are sensitivity versus 1 – specificity.
q q q q q q q q q q q


D. The ideal ROC curve will have a value of 0.5.
q q q q q q q q q


E. The value of the ROC curve is calculated as the area under the curve generated from the true-positive rate
q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q


versus the false-positive rate.
q q q q




I-11. When considering a potential screening test, what end points should be considered to assess the potential
q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q


qgain from a proposed intervention?
q q q q



A. Absolute and relative impact of screening on the disease outcome
q q q q q q q q q


B. Cost per life-year saved q q q


C. Increase in the average life expectancy for the entire population

q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q


qbreast cancer screening and prevention. In regard to screening and preventing breast cancer in women, which
q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q


qof the following potential recommendations from your committee would be valid?
