Statistics article for analysis: Rural-Urban Disparities in Diagnosis of Early-Onset Dementia
Analysis should be factual and backed by stastical methods or in reference to article
Include:
1. What was the purpose/aim of the study? Was the study design appropriate? (see resource for reference: Harrison’s evidence based orthodontics article)
2. Who was studied, how were they recruited, where was the study carried out? Is the number of subjects sufficient? Assess the representativeness of the sample.
3. Was the study adequately controlled? Assess control groups, including random allocation (see Harrison’s Download Harrison’sTable 5).
Were the assessors blind to the interventions received and are any measurements taken likely to be valid and reliable? Assess the possibilities for bias.
4.Assess the suitability of the statistical methods (were they appropriate? why or why not?) What were the variables used in the study? (Which were the predictor/explanatory variables? Which were the outcomes?)
5. Was basic data about the sample described and baseline comparisons made? What were the main findings and does the data support them? What is the statistical basis for each finding?
6. : Given the quality of the study design, conduct and analyze what is the likelihood that the results are valid? Are the magnitudes of the findings clinically significant?
7. : How could the study have been designed to be more conclusive, powerful, or efficient?
extra points for including some of these topics: , correlation, measures of central tendency, multivariate relationships, experimental design, sampling distributions, statistical significance, linear regression
