c'mon guys i think this is really useful n will help our brains have memory for the more impt things ...
lets make a list of impt formulas
if u guys respond but the subject name like bistat forumla or pharm forumula n we will come up with a high yeild formula list!!
thanks

BIOSTATS:
PREVALANCE estimates----- INCIDENCE X (DISEASE DURATION)
PPV=TP/TP+FP
NPV=TN/TN+FN
SPECIFICITY=TN/TN+FP
SENSITIVITY=TP/TP+FN
ODDS ratio=AD/BC
RR=A/(A+B) divided C/(C+D)
ATTRIBUTABLE RISK= A/A+B (-) C/C+D ..INVERSE OF FRACTION IS NNT OR numbr needed to harm

hi shigatox22 ..nice effort
correction : NNT and NNH are diff
NNH= 1/ AR ( attributable risk ) ie. {a/a+b}- {c/c+d}
NNT = 1/ARR (Absolute risk reduction ) ie (rate in control) - (rate in treatment /exposed)
how i remember to avoid confusion is tht No. Needed to HARM has 'AR' in it so it is associated with AR attributable risk ( not abs risk reduction which is ARR)

hmm kaplan guy says AR and ARR is the same thing.....AR asses actual RISK of disease.....and ARR asses actual RISK REDUCTION of disease
as NNT asses how many ppl to affect to 1 life
n as NNH asses how many ppl to harm to affect 1 life
basically the equations are identical for AR n ARR but.......
AR=Incidence in exposed group (-) incidence in unexposed group
thus
ARR= Incidence in tx group (-) Incidence in placebo(control) group

RELATIVE RISK REDUCTION=
INCIDENCE in tx group (-) INCIDENCE in control(placebo) group DIVIDED by INCIDENCE
IN control(placebo) group

i know the actual definition is diff but were just worried at this point of memorizing the forumulas cuz it should be expected that everyone knows how to apply it to a question
CORRECT ME IF UM WRONG PPL

You are right.
Relative Risk Reduction (RRR) = Absolute Risk Reduction (ARR)/Control Event Rate (CER)

ARI= absolute risk increase, AR= Absolute risk, RR= relative risk, ARR=absolute risk reduction, RRR= relative risk reduction, ARP = Attributable risk percent, (AR) control = AR of control
NNH = 1/ ARI
NNT = 1/ ARR
ARI = Event rate of treatment - event rate of control
ARR = Event rate of control - event rate of treatment
Event rate of treatment = Events/ total treatment arm subjects
RRR = ((AR)control - (AR)treatment ) / (AR) control
ARP = (Risk in exposed - Risk in unexposed)/ Risk in exposed
ARP = (RR-1)/RR
ARP is the attributable risk percent that represents the excess risk in the exposed population that can be attribute to the risk factor.
