What is epidemiology?
What does the word mean?From Greek: epi=upon + demos=people“upon the people”
Epidemic: describes a disease that quickly and severely affects lots of people and then subsides

What is epidemiology? “Epidemiology is the study of the distribution and
determinants of health-related states or events in populations and the application of this study to control health problems”
- Last JM

Aims of Epidemiology
1. Determine risk factors of various diseases
2. Identify segments of the population with highest risk to target prevention and intervention opportunities
3. Evaluate the effectiveness of health programs and services in improving health of the population

the reasons that really matter…
- Better advocate for your patient
- Better doctor

Why should you care?Epidemiology/clinical research informs all of the following:
What diseases should you be looking for in patients?
Which patients should you screen for disease?
How are diseases diagnosed?
What conditions cause the disease (risk factors)?
How to prevent disease in your patients?
How to treat diseases in your patients?
What is disease prognosis?

Observational vs. Experimental Studies
Experimental studies – the investigator tries to control the environment in which the hypothesis is tested (the randomized, double-blind clinical trial is the gold standard)
Observational studies – the population is observed without any interference by the investigator
25
![Page 26: Inde 201 POM Q1 (Fall quarter) 2015 September 28, 2015 Practice of Medicine Quantitative Medicine: Epidemiology & Biostatistics 1](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051517/5697bfd01a28abf838caa7eb/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Why Observational Studies?
Cheaper Faster Can examine long-term effects Hypothesis-generating Sometimes, experimental studies are not ethical (e.g.,
randomizing subjects to smoke) Sometimes, experimental studies are not possible

Epidemiology and medicine: Why should you care?
Keeping up with the medical literature will make you a better doctor
You risk being misled if you aren’t savvy to study design and statistics
You have to understand risk in order to help patients understand risk

![Page 31: Inde 201 POM Q1 (Fall quarter) 2015 September 28, 2015 Practice of Medicine Quantitative Medicine: Epidemiology & Biostatistics 1](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051517/5697bfd01a28abf838caa7eb/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
“Ultimately, treatment decisions are made by patients, not
practitioners and not policy makers. Patients rely on
physicians and other health care professionals to deliver the
most amount of information possible about treatment risks
and benefits. Patients then can consider these issues in the
context of their own individual preferences. Policy makers
Should not interfere with this process unless the evidence
they use to mandate care is substantial.”

Statistical concepts we will cover include…
46
fundamental concepts of measurement scales of measurement distribution, central tendency, variability, probability disease prevalence and incidence health impact (eg, risk differences and ratios) sensitivity, specificity, predictive values
fundamental concepts of hypothesis testing and statistical inference confidence intervals statistical significance and Type I error statistical power and Type II error
Use of statistical tests for different types of data (e.g., comparing means, proportions).
