which one of the following can be used for data analysis in Cross sectional?
1. Odds ratio
2. Relative risk
3. Chi square test ***
4. Attributable
... [Show More] risk and Chi square test
5. odds ratio and attributable risk
cross sectional: use CHI SQUARE
Cohort: use RR or AR
Case control: use ODD's RATIO

For Prevalance Cross Sectional Study ..... to check incidence Cohort .... So D here
Two groups are being studied for risk reduction for some disease with aspirin use. Tables are given as follows.
Aspirin used aspirin not used
Got disease 10 20
Disease free 990 980
Calculate NNT for this?
a. 10
b. 100 ***
c. 1000
its incidance 10 among 1000 population right so inverse of it is 1000/10=100\
The question says 10 got disease amongst 1000 people who used aspirin and 20 amongst those who did not use it so take the total number which is 1000/ 10 = 100 is ur ans.
In a village of 3000 people, 500 get Congo Hemorrhagic fever. 450 eventually recover from the disease in the next 4 weeks while 50 died. What is the case fatility rate for this disease?
1. 10 ***
2. 20
3. 35
4. 50
5. 200
Case fatality rate = # of deaths from a specific cause / total number of cases with same disease...
50 / 500 = 10 (A)
You are a doctor in a town ,where 6people out of 100 are non smoker.What are the
chances of stroke.the chances of stroke in smoker is 50%more than non smoker .Now
the pharmaceutical company is introducing a medicine which reduces the chances of
stroke upto 1/3rd in smoker population .What is the percentage of the stroke population
will get stroke
a)3%
b)6% ***
c)9%
d)12%
e)20%
6/100 = 6%, 6*1.5 = 9 , 1/3rd reduced so 9/3 = 3, => 9-3 = 6%
9/3 is to calculate reduction which is 1/3 so 9/3. Final level is if you
substract the 1/3 reduction from the 50% increased incidence that will give you final incidence or
prevalence whatever is asked in the stem.
just take it as in general population this risk is 6/100 ... for smokers it turns to be 9/100 as gnrl population has 50% less thn smokers... so in smokers risk is reduced to one third ... so we ll take 1/3rd of 9 which ll be 3 nd subtarct it from orignal risk of 9 in smokers nd v ll be left wid 6
• In a small village of North QLD with a community of 3000 people, 18%females get URTI while 22% males get it as well who are exposed to factory smoke. 10% of females also get URTI who live away from the factory and are not exposed to factory smoke. The data for males is not available. Calculate the attributable risk for females to get URTI due to factory smoke?
1. 28%
2. 30%
3. 6%
4. 1.8%
5. 8% ***
ARR =risk in exposed Group - risk in Unexposed group So 18 - 10 = 8% [Show Less]
