Week 2: Epidemiology and Biostatistics to Inform Advanced Practice Nursing
TD1: Shelby is a 32-year-old mother of two, who has smoked 1 pack-per-day for the last 15 years, and who comes to see you today for her yearly well-woman exam in your family practice clinic. She has a family history, in a single paternal grandmother of breast cancer at age 52. She also has a history of an abnormal cervical cancer screening three years ago requiring colposcopy. Given her history please consider the following:
Choose one screening test that might be considered either now or in the next few years of Shelby’s care. Define the test, its positive predictive value, reliability and validity
Upon the course of your history you find out that Shelby has a great aunt on her mother’s side who died of ‘some woman cancer in her stomach’ and an uncle on her father’s side who died of pancreatic cancer. Her mother and older sisters are all in good health.

Epidemiological Formulas and Statistics
Parameter Definition Formula
Incidence (exposed) Incidence of new cases of disease in persons who were exposed number (exposed with disease)/Total number of exposed
Incidence (unexposed) Incidence of new cases of disease in persons who were not exposed number (unexposed with disease)/Total number of unexposed
Incidence of Disease Measure of risk. Total number in a population with a disease divided by the total number of the population. Number with the disease/ Total population number
Relative Risk Risk of disease in one group versus another. Risk of developing a disease after exposure. If this number is one, it means there is no risk. R(exposed)/Risk (unexposed) (# exposed with disease(divided by)/total of all exposed)
(# of non-exposed with disease/(divided by)total of all non exposed)
Odds Ratio A measure of exposure and disease outcome commonly used in case control studies. R(exposed) / R (unexposed)
1- R(exposed) 1-R(unexposed)
Prevalence The number of cases of a disease in a given time regardless of when it began. (new and old cases) (Persons with the disease/ Total population) X 1000
Attributable Risk The difference in disease in those exposed and unexposed and is calculated from prospective data. Directly attributed to exposure (if exposure gone, disease would be gone) R(exposed) – R(unexposed)
Crude Birth Rate The number of live births per 1,000 people in the population (# of births/estimated mid-year population) X 1000
Crude Death Rate The number of deaths per 1,000 people in the population (# of deaths/estimated mid-year population) X 1000
Fetal Death Rate The number of fetal deaths (20 weeks or more gestation) per 1,000 live births. (# of fetal deaths/ # of live births + fetal deaths) X 1000
Annual Mortality Rate Usually an expression of a specific disease or can be all causes per 1,000 people for a year. (# of deaths of all causes (or a specific disease)/Mid-year population) X 1000
Case Fatality Rate The parentage of individuals who have a specific disease and die within a specific time after diagnosis. (# of persons dying from a disease after diagnosis or set period/ # of persons with the disease) X 100
