Errors in hypothesis testing: Type-1 error, Type-2 error
You've come to the correct place if you've ever glanced over the results section of a medical study because words like "confidence interval" or "p-value" confuse you. You might be a clinical practitioner who reads research publications to stay current on advancements in your area of expertise or a medical student who is unsure of how to do their own research. Both working professionals and those conducting their own research might gain from having more confidence in their comprehension of statistical analysis and the results.Any clinical trial's design, conduct, analysis, and reporting all depend heavily on statistics for minimizing and managing biases, confounding variables, and random error measurement. Mastering statistical techniques is essential to comprehending the procedures and outcomes of randomised trials. We covered many important clinical statistical tests like Sensitivity, Specificity, Life Tables, Hypothesis, Probability, Hazard Ratio, Data Types, Distribution and its types and many other basic statistical test.This course is a good place to start if you want to learn about clinical statistics including SPSS usage, result interpretation and interpretation. Without delving into complicated calculations, it provides a simple introduction to interpreting popular statistical ideas. The greatest method to delve into the world of clinical literature is to be able to interpret and comprehend these ideas. This course fills that need, so let's get started!Who this course is for:Medical Students, Nurses, Research Scholars, Students, Policy Makers, Teaching faculty, AcademiciansEarly Career Researchers, Medical Research GroupsPhD scholars and Graduate StudentsClinical ResearchersDoctors, Nurses and Medical Graduate

Hazard Ratio
04:04
The hazard ratio (HR) is a measure of the relative risk of an event occurring in one group versus another. It is commonly used in survival analysis and clinical trials to compare the risk of an event (such as death or disease progression) between a treatment group and a control group. The HR is calculated as the ratio of the hazard (or risk) of the event occurring in the treatment group to the hazard of the event occurring in the control group. A HR greater than 1 indicates that the treatment group has a higher risk of the event, while a HR less than 1 indicates that the treatment group has a lower risk of the event. A HR of 1 indicates that the risk of the event is the same in both groups.
Risk and Odd Ratio's
04:39
Risk is the probability that an event will occur. It is typically expressed as a decimal or percentage. For example, a risk of 0.1 (or 10%) means that there is a 10% chance that an event will occur.
Odd ratio (OR) is a measure of the association between an exposure and an outcome. It is a ratio of the odds of the outcome occurring in the exposed group compared to the odds of the outcome occurring in the unexposed group. OR is commonly used in case-control studies. An OR greater than 1 indicates that the exposed group is more likely to have the outcome than the unexposed group, while an OR less than 1 indicates that the exposed group is less likely to have the outcome. An OR of 1 indicates that there is no association between the exposure and the outcome.
It's important to note that Risk and Odds Ratio are different. Risk is a probability and Odds Ratio is a ratio of two probabilities. OR tends to be used more in case-control studies, while HR tends to be used more in cohort studies and clinical trials.
Number needed to Treat and Harm
05:31
Number needed to treat (NNT) is a measure of the effectiveness of a treatment. It represents the number of patients who need to be treated in order for one additional patient to benefit from the treatment. NNT is calculated as the reciprocal of the absolute risk reduction (ARR). For example, if a treatment reduces the risk of a certain event by 20%, the NNT would be 5, meaning that 5 patients need to be treated for 1 additional patient to benefit from the treatment. Lower NNTs indicate that a treatment is more effective, as fewer patients need to be treated to achieve a beneficial outcome.
Number needed to harm (NNH) is a similar measure to NNT, but it represents the number of patients who need to be treated in order for one additional patient to be harmed by the treatment. NNH is calculated as the reciprocal of the absolute risk increase (ARI). Like NNT, lower NNHs indicate that a treatment is safer, as fewer patients need to be treated to observe harm.
It's important to note that NNT and NNH are related to the treatment effect size, a larger effect size will have a smaller NNT or NNH and vice versa.
Life Tables
04:46
A life table, also known as a mortality table or actuarial table, is a statistical tool that is used to model the survival of a population. It is typically used in actuarial science, demography, and epidemiology. A life table is constructed by collecting data on the number of deaths and the number of survivors at each age within a given population.
A basic life table includes two columns, one showing the number of people alive at the beginning of a specific age interval (the "exposure" or "population"), and the other showing the number of deaths that occurred within that age interval (the "cases").
From this information, a number of important statistics can be calculated, including:
Life expectancy: the average number of years that a person can expect to live, given the current mortality rates
Mortality rate: the number of deaths per unit of population
Survival rate: the proportion of people in a population who are still alive at a certain age
Age-specific death rate: the number of deaths per unit of population at a specific age
Life tables are often used to compare mortality rates between different populations, or to track changes in mortality over time within a population. They can also be used to project future mortality rates, which is important for financial planning and forecasting.
Sensitivity, Specificity, Predictive Values
05:05
Sensitivity and specificity are two important measures of the performance of a diagnostic test.
Sensitivity is the proportion of true positive cases (people with the disease) that are correctly identified by the test. It is calculated as the number of true positive cases divided by the total number of true positive and false negative cases. A test with high sensitivity will correctly identify most people who have the disease, while a test with low sensitivity will miss many people who have the disease.
Specificity is the proportion of true negative cases (people without the disease) that are correctly identified by the test. It is calculated as the number of true negative cases divided by the total number of true negative and false positive cases. A test with high specificity will correctly identify most people who do not have the disease, while a test with low specificity will incorrectly identify many people as having the disease.
It's important to note that a high sensitivity test will tend to have a lower specificity, and vice versa. Therefore, it's essential to consider both sensitivity and specificity together when evaluating a diagnostic test. It also depends on the clinical context, for example, a screening test for a rare disease will have a different sensitivity and specificity cutoff than a test for a common disease.

Why are the Udemy instructors giving away free Udemy Coupons?
Every instructor has worked for hours on each of their courses. As new courses get launched, the instructors have no way to get their course in front of an audience to get some feedback. So, instructors share free coupons for their courses to get feedback from the students. We attheprogrammingbuddy.club work with these instructors to get their courses available to our buddies.
Is Udemy safe to use?
Yes, payments on Udemy are safe. It is no different than paying for other services on an application or website and inputting your payment information before receiving your goods. Just be sure to keep your account secure, do not share your udemy accounts.
Can Udemy courses get you a job?
Earning a skill is more valuable than earning a job these days. Skills are your most valuable asset. They can help you qualify for jobs you want and get promoted to more advanced positions within your organization. Unfortunately, it is difficult for many people to balance taking courses with work and family obligations. We have had many students, who have taken just Udemy courses, started a job as well as started freelancing with the skills they have learned.
