Risk and odds ratios 1/7: Patients immobilized for a substantial amount of time can develop deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot in a leg or pelvis vein. DVT can have serious adverse health effects and can be difficult to diagnose. On its website, drug manufacturer Pfizer reports the outcome of a study looking at the effectiveness of the drug Fragmin (dalteparin) in preventing DVT in immobilized patients. Of the 1518 randomly chosen immobilized patients given Fragmin, 42 experienced a complication from DVT. Of the 1473 randomly chosen immobilized patients given a placebo, 73 experienced a complication from DVT. Compute the odds of experiencing DVT complications for immobilized patients treated with a placebo. (Enter the number with 4 decimal places.)

In a study among patients who undergo wedge resection (a type of lung surgery for early-stage lung cancer), the odds ratio between history of cardiac comorbidity (1 = cardiac comorbidity; 0 = no cardiac comorbidity) for the outcome of post-surgical complications (1 = post-surgical complications; 0 = no post-surgical complications) was 2.1. Questions: Suppose that the odds of post-surgical complications for patients without cardiac comorbidity are 1.5. What are the odds of post-surgical complications for patients with cardiac comorbidity? For each cardiac comorbidity group, find the proportion of patients who experienced post-surgical complications Find the value of R in the interpretation: “The probability of post-surgical complications for patients with cardiac comorbidity is R percentage points higher than that of patients without cardiac comorbidity.”
An epidemiologic survey of roller-skating injuries in Metroville, a city with a population of 100,000 (during the midpoint of the year), produced the following data for a particular year:The crude death rate for all causes was:
The dose-response effect is best described as A. when similar studies produce similar results B. when all other possible causes are ruled out. C. when the value of the response variable changes in a meaningful way with the dosage of the suspected cause.
If all participants in a repeated measures research study show roughly the same difference between treatments, then the data will produce a statistically significant value for the t statistic. True or false
4. The Odds Ratio (95% CI) for hospitalization from a certain infection based upon presence versus absence of a certain risk factor was observed to be 1.6 (1.2 to 2.1). These results suggest: A. Statistically significant protection against hospitalization given the presence of the risk factor B. Possible (though not statistically significant) risk of hospitalization given presence of the risk factor C. Possible (though not statistically significant) protection against hospitalization given the presence of the risk factor D. Statistically significant risk of hospitalization given the presence of the risk factor
A case-control study is conducted to assess the relationship between heavy alcohol use during the first trimester of pregnancy and miscarriage. Fifty women who suffered miscarriage are enrolled along with 50 who delivered full term. Each participant’s use of alcohol during pregnancy is ascertained. Heavy drinking is defined as 4 or more drinks on one occasion. The data are shown below. Miscarriage Delivered Full Term Heavy Alcohol Use 14 4 No Heavy Alcohol Use 36 46 Compute the odds of miscarriage among women with heavy alcohol use in pregnancy.
I need the answer to this question, please? An article included a summary of findings regarding the use of SAT I scores, SAT II scores, and high school grade point average (GPA) to predict first-year college GPA. The article states that "among these, SAT II scores are the best predictor, explaining 17 percent of the variance in first-year college grades. GPA was second at 15.5 percent, and SAT I was last at 13.5 percent." If the data from this study were used to fit a least squares line with y = first-year college GPA and x = high school GPA, what would the value of r2 have been? r2 =
A study assessed the lung destructive index among smokers and non- smokers provided the following data Smokers : overline x 1 =14.5 n 1 =12 S P =2.50 Non- Smokers: overline x 2 =9.5 n 2 =10 a = .05 From the available data, can we conclude that smokers have greater lung damage than non-smokers?

To combat antibiotic resistance a throat swab is recommended to confirm strep throat before a physician prescribes antibiotics to children under age 5. Nationally, 40 percent of children under 5 who received antibiotics did not have a throat swab. The Department of Health took a random sample of 60 children under the age of 5 who received antibiotics for throat infections and found that 18 did not have a throat swab. At α = .05, is this a statistically significant reduction over last year’s national rate of 40 percent?(a) state the null and alternative hypotheses.(b)Calculate the critical value
A study is run to estimate the incidence of atrial fibrillation (AF) in men and women over the age of 60. Development of atrial fibrillation was monitored over a 10-year follow-up period. The data are summarized below. Using this data, compute the cumulative incidence of AF in men and in women, the relative risk of AF incidence comparing men to women, and the odds ratio of AF incidence comparing men and women. Developed AF Did not Develop AF Men 120 6453 Women 86 7074
Are these results statistically significant or not?
