  1. Statistics for AKT

  2. Discriptive Statistics • Mean: true average • Median: middle number once ranked • Mode: most repetitive • Range : difference between largest and smallest.

  3. Find out the Mean, Median, Mode and Range for following. • 8, 9, 9, 10, 11, 11, 11, 11, 12, 13 • The mean is the usual average: • (8 + 9 + 9 + 10 + 11 + 11 + 11 + 11 + 12 + 13) ÷ 10 = 105 ÷ 10 = 10.5 • The median is the middle value. In a list of ten values, that will be the (10 + 1) ÷ 2 = 5.5th value which will be 11. • The mode is the number repeated most often. 11 • The largest value is 13 and the smallest is 8, so the range is 13 – 8 = 5.

  4. Normal Distribution: Mean=Median=Mode • Positive Skewed: Mean>Median>Mode • Negative Skewed: Mean<Median<Mode

  5. Skewed Data

  6. Sensitivity and Specificity • Sensitivity: How good is the test at detecting those with the condition TRUE POSITIVES ACTUAL NUMBER OF CASES • Specificity: How good is the test at excluding those without the condition TRUE NEGATIVES ACTUAL NUMBER OF PEOPLE WITHOUT CONDITION

  7. Predictive Values • Positive Predictive Value: How likely is a person who tests +ve to actually have the condition TRUE POSITIVES NUMBER OF PEOPLE TESTING POSITIVE • Negative Predictive Value: How likely is a person who tests –ve to not have the condition TRUE NEGATIVES NUMBER OF PEOPLE TESTING NEGATIVE

  8. Likelihood Ratios • Incorporates both sensitivity and specificity • Quantifies the increased odds of having the disease if you get a positive test result, or not having the disease if you get a negative test result. • Positive Likelihood ratio: Sensitivity (1 – Specificity) • Negative Likelihood ratio: (1-Sensitivity) Specificity

  9. Odds: what are the chances Odds are a ratio of the number of people who incur a particular outcome to the number of people who do not incur the outcome. NUMBER OF EVENTS NUMBER OF NON-EVENTS

  10. Odds ratio: The odds ratio may be defined as the ratio of the odds of a particular outcome with experimental treatment and that of control. Odds ratios are the usual reported measure in case-control studies. It approximates to relative risk if the outcome of interest is rare. ODDS IN TREATMENT GROUP ODDS IN CONTROL GROUP

  11. For example, if we look at a trial comparing the use of paracetamol for dysmenorrhoea compared to placebo we may get the following results

  12. The odds of achieving significant pain relief with paracetamol = 40 / 20 = 2 • The odds of achieving significant pain relief with placebo = 30 / 60 = 0.5 • Therefore the odds ratio = 2 / 0.5 = 4

  13. Incidence and Prevalence • Prevalence: rate of a disorder in a specified population • Incidence: Number of new cases of a disorder developing over a given time (normally 1 year)

  14. Questions

  15. Relative risk (RR) is the ratio of risk in the experimental group (experimental event rate, EER) to risk in the control group (control event rate, CER). • Relative risk is a measure of how much a particular risk factor (say cigarette smoking) influences the risk of a specified outcome such as lung cancer, relative to the risk in the population as a whole.

  16. Absolute risk: Risk of developing a condition • Relative risk: Risk of developing a condition as compared to another group EVENTS IN CONTROL GROUP – EVENTS IN TREATMENT GROUP EVENTS IN CONTROL GROUP X 100 - My lifetime risk of dying in a car accident is 5% - If I always wear a seatbelt, my risk is 2.5% - The absolute risk reduction is 2.5% - The relative risk reduction is 50%

  17. For example, if we look at a trial comparing the use of paracetamol for dysmenorrhoea compared to placebo we may get the following results

  18. Experimental event rate, EER = 60 / 100 = 0.6 • Control event rate, CER = 20 / 80 = 0.25 • Therefore the relative risk = EER / CER = 0.6 / 0.25 = 2.4

  19. Relative Risk Reduction • Relative risk reduction (RRR) or relative risk increase (RRI) is calculated by dividing the absolute risk change by the control event rate Using the above data, • RRI = (EER - CER) / CER • (0.6 - 0.25) / 0.25 = 1.4 = 140%

  20. Numbers needed to treat and absolute risk reduction • Numbers needed to treat (NNT) is a measure that indicates how many patients would require an intervention to reduce the expected number of outcomes by one • It is calculated by 1/(Absolute risk reduction) • Absolute risk reduction = (Experimental event rate) - (Control event rate)

  21. A study looks at the benefits of adding a new anti platelet drug to aspirin following a myocardial infarction. The following results are obtained: • Percentage of patients having further MI within 3 months • Aspirin 4% • Aspirin + new drug 3% • What is the number needed to treat to prevent one patient having a further myocardial infarction within 3 months? • NNT = 1 / (control event rate - experimental event rate) • 1 / (0.04-0.03) • 1 / (0.01) = 100

  22. Remember that risk and odds are different. • If 20 patients die out of every 100 who have a myocardial infarction then the risk of dying is 20 / 100 = 0.2 whereas the odds are 20 / 80 = 0.25.

  23. Null Hypothesis • The null hypothesis is that there are no differences between two groups. • The alternative hypothesis is that there is a difference.

  24. Study Error Type 1 error: - Wrongly rejecting the null hypothesis - False +ve Type II error: - Wrongly accepting the null hypothesis - False -ve

  25. Power of the study • Probability of establishing the expected difference between the treatments as being statistically significant - Power = 1 – Type II error (rate of false –ve’s) • Adequate power usually set at 0.8 / 80% • Is increased with - increased sample size - increased difference between treatments

  26. Significance • A result is called statistically significant if it is unlikely to have occurred by chance • P values - Usually taken as <0.05 - Study finding has a 95% chance of being true - Probability of result happening by chance is 5%

  27. Statistical Tests

  28. Types of Tests • Parametric / Non-parametric Parametric if: - Normal distribution - Data can be measured • Paired / Un-paired Paired if data from a single subject group (eg before and after intervention) 3. Binomial – ie only 2 possible outcomes

  29. Parametric Tests • Student’s T-test - compares means - paired / unpaired • Analysis of variance (ANOVA) - use to compare more than 2 groups • Pearsons correlation coefficient - Linear correlation between 2 variables

  30. Non Parametric Data • Mann Whitney - unpaired data • Kruskal-Wallis analysis of ranks / Median test • Wilcoxon matched pairs - paired data • Friedman's two-way analysis of variance / Cochran Q • Spearman or Kendall correlation - linear correlation between 2 variables

  31. Binominal Data (non-parametric) • Compares proportions • Chi squared ± Yates correlation (2x2) • Fisher’s exact test - for larger samples

  32. Standard Deviation • The standard deviation (SD) represents the average difference each observation in a sample lies from the sample mean • SD = square root (variance)

  33. In statistics the 68-95-99.7 rule, or three-sigma rule, or empirical rule, states that for a normal distribution nearly all values lie within 3 standard deviations of the mean • About 68.27% of the values lie within 1 standard deviation of the mean. • Similarly, about 95.45% of the values lie within 2 standard deviations of the mean. • Nearly all (99.73%) of the values lie within 3 standard deviations of the mean.
