A. Cross-sectional
B. Random
C. Population
D.Acute
ANSWER
• A) Cross-sectional
A true reflection of an entire population (risk factor and disease)Advantage: inexpensive, relatively quick to completeDisadvantage: different age groups may be dissimilar; age and
maturity may not be equivalentExample: relationship between indoor mold and respiratory disease or
allergies
WHAT IS A STUDY IN WHICH THE SAME GROUP OF PEOPLE IS STUDIED ON 2 OR MORE OCCASIONS SO THAT THE INCIDENCE CAN BE ASSESSED…
A. Cross sectional
B. Longitudinal
C. Prospective
D.Retrospective
ANSWER
• B) Longitudinal
Requires at least 2 series of measurements among same people at different times to determine progress of the condition over specified time period
Example: Canadian Longitudinal Study on Aging (CLSA) which is designed to examine health patterns and trends among aging Canadians
Examples: Survival rage of women who have undergone breast cancer treatment – study may last 10 years so that success of treatment can be tracked
REVIEW…
CROSS-SECTIONAL STUDY
19
Quasi-experimental (ie: control is relevant to outside factors)
Looks at exposure of interest and disease outcome at same point in time
Study on the prevalence of hypertension around the world.
Survey results: 26% of adults have hypertension, with similar proportions for men and women.
The prevalence of hypertension increases strongly with age, especially for women.
Worldwide, the number of adults with hypertension is predicted to increase from 972 million in 2002 to 1,560 million in 2025, as the proportion of elderly people increases.
LONGITUDINAL
20
A study in which the same group of people is studied on 2 or more occasions so that the incidence can be assessed
Requires at least 2 series of measurements among same people at different times to determine progress of the condition over specified time period
Example: Canadian Longitudinal Study on Aging (CLSA) which is designed to examine health patterns and trends among aging Canadians
Examples: Survival rage of women who have undergone breast cancer treatment – study may last 10 years so that success of treatment can be tracked
PROSPECTIVE
21
Planning of entire study is completed BEFORE data is collected and analyzed
Outcomes are then compared
Population is followed through time to see which members develop the disease
Subjects who presently have a certain condition and receive treatment are followed over time and compared with another group who are not affected by the condition
It is an example of analytical research
Example: Smokers vs non-smokers
RETROSPECTIVE
22
Carry out an investigation using observations/data that was collected in the PAST
Used to study rare conditions
“ex post facto” – “after the fact study”
Eg: Case Control Study ie: compare individuals with disease and individuals without disease - look back to determine if variables are related to present differences
An example of analytical research
An epidemiologic study design that assembles study groups after disease occurrence
A design in which factors are derived from data relating to experiences in the past
Example: skin cancer
ANALYTIC STUDY
23
• Study designs that examine groups of individuals in order to make comparisons and associations and to determine causal relationships
ECOLOGIC STUDY
24
Data for exposures and outcomes come from population level rather than from individual
Example: study addressing the question of whether water fluoridation is related to hip fracture
WHAT IS A FALSE NEGATIVE?
A. A screening test result that is negative when the individual actually has the disease of interest
B. A screening test result that is positive when the individual does not have the disease of interest
C. A screening test result that is not used anymore
D.A screening test result that is not valid
ANSWER
• A) A screening test result that is negative when the individual actually has the disease of interest
• Remember - False-positive test – a screening test result that is positive when the individual does not have the disease of interest
WHAT DOES ‘M’ INDICATE IN DMFT?
• A) Means
• B) Missing
• C) Moderate
• D) Mesial
ANSWER
• B) Missing
WHAT IS IMPORTANT TO KNOW FOR THE ROOT CARIES INDEX?
A. Only used in seniors
B. Only used when root surfaces are exposed
C. ALL root surfaces must be used
D.Only anterior areas are used
ANSWER
• B) Only used when root surfaces are exposed
• D and F root surfaces are summed up
• Sum is then divided by total number of exposed root surfaces
• The result is then multiplied by 100 for a percentage
HOW IS THE GINGIVAL BLEEDING INDEX MEASURED?
