i dont kno how to help you sorry
Explanation:
Answer:
1. Odd ratio:
- Advantages: May be reported in cohort studies, case-control designs and clinical trials.
- Disadvantages: Bad estimation of the risk in situations where the initial risk is high. Difficult to interpret.
2. Relative risk:
- Advantages: Easy to interpret.
- Disadvantages: Not available for case-control designs. Adjustment of the covariance is a hard task.
Explanation:
An odds ratio is a statistical measure used to compare the relative odds of the event/outcome (disease or disorder) with respect to a given variable of interest (e.g. medical history). An odd ratio may be interpreted as though it was a relative risk and therefore this value may lead to error. On the other hand, a relative risk (RR) is a statistic that measures the ratio between the likelihood of an event in an exposed group (disease or disorder) with respect to the likelihood of an event in an unexposed comparison group. Both statistics compare the relative probability of an event/outcome between two comparison groups. The relative risk can not be used in case-control designs because information about the total number of exposed people is not available.
Answer: False
Explanation:
RMR is Resting metabolic rate is the rate at which the body burns the energy while in rest. This can be calculated by how much calories are burn while in rest in vital processes such as breathing and circulation. It is irrespective of the exercise and physical strain taken by the person in awake state. Thus the RMR will only account for small proportion of the caloric needs.
Answer:
The use of digoxin in the therapy of systolic heart failure and certain supraventricular tachycardias is
controversial. This review of the art and science of digoxin presents information needed by physicians
considering digoxin therapy for these common cardiovascular disorders
