Across
  1. 1. a type of study that is used to determine if there is not unacceptably less effective than a known treatment
  2. 4. total cases present at one specific time
  3. 7. term used for the probably of an event in the intervention arm compared to the probability of an event in the placebo arm
  4. 8. can be increased by adding more patients to a study or decreasing the effect size
  5. 11. can only be calculated when a study is found to be statistically significant
  6. 12. this is the most dangerous statistical error
  7. 15. few false positives
  8. 18. a factor that can affect the statistical relationship of the study
  9. 19. retrospective study which compares patients who have an outcome of interest to those without in an effort to identify similar characteristics - hint: correlation only
  10. 20. value used determine risk of making a Type II error
  11. 22. value used to determine making a Type I error
  12. 23. objective outcomes medical professionals may place more weight on than patients
  13. 26. a type of study that occurs after the IRB approved analysis
  14. 27. few false negatives
  15. 28. estimate of the range within which the true effect lies
Down
  1. 2. this type of analysis is used when a study wants to evaluate real world scenarios of their patients
  2. 3. calculated by finding inverse of the absolute risk increase
  3. 5. the difference in rates of an outcome between treatment and control groups
  4. 6. evaluations a population at a single point in time
  5. 7. how much the risk changes proportionally between two groups
  6. 9. how close a measurement or object is to another
  7. 10. outcomes that stakeholders may place more weight on
  8. 13. a type of bias that occurs when an author or company is selective about if they share their results
  9. 14. an outcome that evaluates all results together
  10. 16. rate of new cases or events during a specified time for a population at risk
  11. 17. used to evaluate if the probability this result has happened by chance
  12. 21. used to determine risk of an outcome in case-control and cohort studies
  13. 24. this statistical error occurs when authors conclude there is no difference when a difference does exist
  14. 25. how close a measurement or object is to a true or accepted value
