Learning outcomes

------------------------
MM: STATISTICA MEDICA ED EPIDEMIOLOGIA CLINICA
------------------------
The aim of the course "Medical statistics and clinical epidemiology" is to provide the theoretical and practical tools for assessing the frequency of diseases in human populations and the associated risk factors. The course therefore aims to provide expertise in epidemiology and bio-statistics. At the end of the course, the student must demonstrate to have understood the basic bio-statistical methods applied to epidemiology and the elements of an epidemiological study.
------------------------
MM: METODOLOGIA DELL'ASSISTENZA OSTETRICA BASATA SULLE EVIDENZE
------------------------
The student, at the end of the course, will be able to ask himself questions about obstetric care and will know how to look for scientific evidences and translate them in Evidence Based Practices, in relation to the operational contest and to the professional experience.
------------------------
MM: INFORMATICA APPLICATA ALLA RICERCA DELLA LETTERATURA
------------------------
The object is to make the user autonomous in using the main medical search engines and to use the main softwares to be able to do simple statistic calcs

Program

------------------------
MM: STATISTICA MEDICA ED EPIDEMIOLOGIA CLINICA
------------------------
The course is structured in theoretical frontal lessons (24h). 1) Medicine, scientific research and statistics 2) The measurement process in medicine: measurement scales, validity, precision and accuracy 3) Statistical variables and frequency distributions 4) How to summarize the distribution of one or more variables (measures of location and dispersion, contingency tables and correlation) 5) An introduction to probability theory 6) From the sample to the population: the principles of statistical inference (confidence intervals and tests) 7) How to organize an epidemiological study and what is measured 8) How to assess the validity of a diagnostic tool 9) How to measure the frequency of diseases in human populations (incidence and prevalence) 10) How to measure the association between a risk factor and a disease (relative risk, attributable risk, odds ratio)
