Types of Data Visualization
Depicts discrete, categorical data.
What is a bar graph?
This rate takes outpatient deaths less than 48 hours (not enough time to effect the death outcome).
What is Net Death Rate?
This rate includes all the NB autopsies and NB deaths.
What is Newborn Autopsy Rate?
This is used when a problem has not been clearly defined or its scope is unclear.
What is exploratory research?
This is when individuals are chosen from a population where everyone is given an equal chance to be selected.
What is Simple Random Sampling?
Depicts component parts of a whole.
What is a pie chart?
This rate includes patients with deaths within 10 days after surgery (after 10 days could be another cause).
What is Postoperative Death Rate?
This rate includes total autopsy and deaths of intermediate and late fetal deaths.
What is Fetal Autopsy Rate?
This research determines the existence and degree of relationships among factors.
What is correlation research?
This is when you find a participant and they reference you to some other individuals and so on.
What is snowball sampling?
Depicts data over time (days, months, years).
What is a line graph?
This rate includes direct deaths (hemorrhage, pre-eclampsia and not indirect (spousal abuse, MVA).
What is Maternal Death Rate?
This rate includes all autopsies and deaths on inpatients .
What is Gross Autopsy Rate?
This research reviews old records and asks subjects to recall past events in order to determine the presence or absence of the independent variable under study (case-control).
What is retrospective research?
This is when professional gathers information from the people in her department.
What is convenience sampling?
Depicts relations between two numerical values, used for correlation.
What is a scattered diagram?
This rate is maternal death x 10000 (population)/number of births.
What is maternal Mortality Rate?
This rate includes total autopsies and deaths on inpatients and excludes coroner cases (not available to autopsy).
What is Net Autopsy Rate?
A cohort of individuals is followed to determine if a particular characteristic or risk factor(s) may be causing the disease or outcome under study (exposed-unexposed).
What is prospective research?
This is when the researcher relies on his or her own judgement to select subjects for a study (ie. they have at 5 years experience).
What is judgement sampling?
Depicts frequency distribution for continuous data.
What is a histogram?
This rate includes intermediate and late fetal deaths in the numerator and denominator.
What is Fetal Death Rate?
This is the only rate that includes inpatient and outpatient (ED, Home Health, Hospice) autopsies and deaths and excludes coroner cases.
What is Adjusted Hospital Autopsy Rate?
Used to establish cause and effect, a controlled investigation in which subjects are assigned randomly to groups that experience carefully controlled interventions that are manipulated by the experimenter according to a strict protocol.
What is experimental research?
This is when you divide the population into similar groups (ie. graduate or undergraduate), choose random simple samples from each group and combine those for the full sample.
What is stratified random sampling?
