The number of patients you need to treat to prevent one additional bad outcome (death, stroke, etc.).
What is the Number Needed to Treat- NNT?
This Doctor is 100% Polish descent
Who is Dr. Labak?
The following equation depicts the degree an intervention or exposure increases/decreases the risk of an outcome to a group
# events in placebo group/# subjects in placebo group
_______________________________________ =
# events in study group/# subjects in study group
(a/a+b) / (c/c+d) = ?
What is the equation for relative risk?
This faculty member has been featured both on stage and screen in the Crucible, the Sound of Music, Return to Me, and Big Trouble.
Dr. Lupei
Calculate the Number Needed to treat?
a=19
b=195
c=28
d=173
What is 16?
NNT allows a simple explanation of the likelihood of benefit, which may be used in helping patients reach a decision about whether to start a medication.
This gives an estimated range of values which is likely to include an unknown population parameter, the estimated range being calculated from a given set of sample data.
What is the Confidence Interval?
This Doctor's family member was a Confederate Officer in the Revolutionary war.
Who is Dr. Eckerstrom?
TP TP+FN X 100=?
Test the proportion of persons with the condition who test positive.
What is the equation for Sensitivity?
SNOUT
– SeNsitive test with a Negative result rules
OUT the disease
This faculty's High School basketball team were called the Freemont Pretzels.
Who is Dr. Schroeder?
Calculate the Sensitivity of Fasting Plasma Blood Glucose test in diagnosing Diabetes Mellitus
(+) DM (-) DM
Test Positive 182 24
Test Negative 18 166
Total 200 200
What is 91%?
Sensitivity of the test = TP/TP+FN = 182/182+18 = 91%
Commonly <0.05, this is the likelihood that a hypothesis is valid
What is the Probability?
This Faculty member's ancestors hired Abraham Lincoln as their lawyer to settle a copyright dispute over "the Reaper"- (equipment used to harvest wheat).
Who is Dr. Schroeder?
TN FP+TN X 100=?
Test the proportion of persons without the condition who test negative
What is the equation for Specificity?
SPIN
– A Specific test with a Positive result rules IN
the disease
This doctor was born 9 months apart from their brother.
Who is Dr. Rizzo?
Calculate the Specificity of Fasting Plasma Blood Glucose test in diagnosing Diabetes Mellitus
(+) DM (-) DM
Test Positive 182 24
Test Negative 18 166
Total 200 200
What is 83%?
Specificity of the test = TN/FP+TN = 166/24+166 = 83%
The risk an individual has of developing the disease over a time period.
What is Absolute risk?
For example, say you have a 1 in 10 risk of developing a certain disease in your life. This can also be said to be a 10% risk, or a 0.1 risk - depending on whether you use percentages or decimals.
This Doctor's family originates from near Transylvania, home of Vlad the Impaler (otherwise known as Dracula)
Who is Dr. Lupei?
TP
_______________ =
TP+FP
PPV- Positive Predicted Value
The proportion of positive results that are
true positives
– The likelihood that a person with a positive
test actually has the disease
This doctor blew out both knees and tore both of her ACLs while jumping on a trampoline.

The risk of a disease in two different groups of people, i.e Smokers vs non-smokers
What is Relative Risk?
Say the absolute risk of developing a disease is 4 in 100 in non-smokers. Say the relative risk of the disease is increased by 50% in smokers. The 50% relates to the 4 - so the absolute increase in the risk is 50% of 4, which is 2. So, the absolute risk of smokers developing this disease is 6 in 100.
This Doctor's ancestors were called "headhunters" as they would take the heads of their rivals as souvenirs after war.
Who is Dr. Konyak?
TN
_______________ =
TN+FN
NPV-Negative Predicted Value
The proportion of negative results that are
true negatives
– The likelihood that a person with a negative
test truly does not have the disease
