Consider the treatment of patients with endocarditis caused by Staphylococcus aureus (SA). Although the mortality rate for this disease ranges from 25% to 47% (6), let us assume that in the population of interest, White males aged 30 to 60 the mortality rate is 38% with the standard antibiotic treatment of penicillin, methycillin, vancomycin and other antibiotics. However, a new drug has been developed that attacks the bacteria’s ability to protect itself from the human immune system rather than interfering with cell wall development. The question is this: What are the odds of dying with the new drug as opposed to the standard antibiotic therapy protocol? The formula can also be presented as (a × d)/(b × c) (this is called the cross-product). (Look at the Att #1). Table. Results from fictional SA endocarditis treatment study

1. OR = (152 × 103)/ (17 × 248) = (15656/4216) = 3.71.

Researchers conduct analytical study of pancreatic cancer. The study included 200 cases and 200 controls. Of the cases, 80% reported they smoked cigarettes. Among the controls, 50% reported they smoked cigarettes.What is the type of study?

1. Experimental study

2. Case-control

3. Clinical trial

4. Cohort

82 / 110

A cohort study differs from a case-control study in that:

1. Subjects are enrolled or categorized on the basis of their exposure status in a cohort study but not in a case-control study

2. Cohort studies are conducted to investigate chronic diseases, case-control studies are used for infectious diseases

3. Cohort studies require many years to conduct, but case-control studies do not

4. Subjects are asked about their exposure status in a cohort study but not in a casecontrol study

5. neither above

In this regard, it can be argued that in a randomized controlled trial, patients receiving a placebo are not deceived (do not receive proper treatment):

1. Sign the "Informed consent of the patient" (where his consent to the use of placebo is provided)

2. The attending physician receives the patient's oral consent to conduct the experiment

3. Placebo has no harmful effects on the body, so its use does not require the consent of the patient

4. Sign consent for hospitalization

5. Sign consent for discharge
