Methodology subjects GZW3024
2
, Frequent associations
Prevalence
- Point prevalence: part of population that is diseased at a
certain point in time
- Period prevalence: part of population that is diseased
within a time period
- Life-time prevalence: part of population that was diseased
during life
Incidence relates to the number of new cases
- Cumulative incidence (CI)
- Incidene Density (ID) / Incidence Rate (IR)
Measurement levels
Continuous:
Nominal: 2 or more categories of types (type house flat/appartement/villa)
Ordinal: 2 or more categories which can be ranked (type school HBO/WO)
Dichotomonous = binary: 2 categories or levels (yes/no)
Polychroom: more than 2 categories or levels (bloodtype A/B/AB/O)
Categorical:
Interval: numeric (Fahrenheit)
Ratio: same as interval but with zero-point (degrees)
Measure assocations
Risk Ratio (RR): (a/(a+b)) / (c/(c+d))
- If the risk ratio is 1 (or close to 1), it suggests no difference or little difference in risk (incidence in
each group is the same) = not significant
- A risk ratio > 1 suggests an increased risk of that outcome in the exposed group.
- A risk ratio < 1 suggests a reduced risk in the exposed group.
Attributive (Proportion) Ratio (AR/AP): RR – 1 / RR
Used when you want to calculate the proportion of disease in the total population that can be attributed to
the population.
Attributive (Proportion) Ratio among the exposed (APe): Exposed – not exposed / exposed
Used when you want to calculate the proportion of disease in the exposed group that can be attributed to
the exposure.
Odds Ratio (OR): (a/b) / (c/d) of (a*d) / (b*c)
Odds Ratio is an estimate of the Risk Ratio when for example the disease is uncommon. So mostly you
use it when it is about rare outcomes. OR mostly overestimates the RR.
