Evidence-based obstetrics (2020/2021)
The teaching is organized as follows:
Learning outcomes
L’insegnamento è mirato a fare acquisire agli Studenti le conoscenze e competenze di base per ricercare fonti di letteratura autorevoli che rispondano a quesiti clinici; lo Studente acquisirà inoltre competenze per interpretare le fonti raccolte ed applicarle in un contesto clinico.
Modulo Metodologia dell'assistenza ostetrica basata sulle evidenze: Il corso ha l’obiettivo di guidare lo Studente ad acquisire conoscenze e competenze per porsi domande relative all’assistenza ostetrica; lo Studente sarà inoltre guidato a ricercare in maniera finalizzata le evidenze scientifiche attraverso fonti autorevoli (banche dati, riviste, etc), interpretarne la validità e i risultati e tradurle in Evidence Based Practice, in relazione al contesto operativo e all’esperienza professionale.
Modulo Informatica applicata alla ricerca della letteratura: L'obiettivo del corso è guidare lo Studente ad acquisire competenze per svolgere una ricerca di letteratura nei principali motori di ricerca bibliografica e banche dati (pubmed, cochrane library, guidelines); lo Studente acquisirà inoltre competenze di base per l’utilizzo di software di calcolo (es. Excell). Durante il corso lo Studente potrà sperimentare quanto appreso in ricerche di letteratuta anche finalizzate all’elaborato di tesi.
Modulo Statistica medica ed epidemiologia clinica: Il modulo si propone di fornire gli strumenti teorici e pratici indispensabili per valutare la diffusione delle malattie nelle popolazioni umane e i fattori di rischio associati. L'insegnamento mira quindi a fornire competenze nell'ambito dell'epidemiologia e della bio-statistica. Al termine dell'insegnamento lo Studente dovrà dimostrare di aver compreso i metodi bio-statistici di base applicati all'epidemiologia e gli elementi di un'indagine epidemiologica.

The course is structured in remote theoretical lessons (24h). The teaching material is made available to the students on the e-learning web page of the course (Moodle platform). Collection and organization of biomedical data: - stages of a statistical research; - population, sample and statistical units; - measurement process and measurement scales; - validity, accuracy and precision of a measuring instrument; - absolute, relative and cumulative frequencies; - one and two-way frequency tables. Graphical representation of biomedical data: - pie chart; - bar chart; - histogram; - cumulative frequency polygon. Measures of location and dispersion: - mode; - percentiles and median; - simple and weighted arithmetic mean; - range; - interquartile range; - deviance, variance and standard deviation; - coefficient of variation. An introduction to probability theory: - definition of probability; - axiomatic theory of probabilities; - rules of probability calculation; - independent and conditional probabilities; - Bernoulli and Gauss distributions. Diagnostic and screening tests: - sensitivity and specificity. The objects of epidemiology: - outcome; - measures of disease frequency (prevalence, cumulative incidence, incidence rate); - determinant. The occurrence relationship: - measures of absolute effect (attributable risk); - measures of relative effect (relative risk, odds ratio). The epidemiological studies: - ecological study; - cross-sectional study; - case-control study; - cohort study; - clinical trial. An introduction to statistical inference: - point estimate; - confidence interval; - statistical test.

Examination Methods
The final test consists of 3 exams, one for each unit. To pass the final test, the student must get a score of not less than 18/30 in each exam. The final mark (in thirtieths) is the weighted average over credits of the 3 scores.

The final test is a written exam in presence with short answer questions and multiple choice questions. The remote exam is however guaranteed for all students who request it in the academic year 2020/21. The aim of the test is to verify the knowledge of all the topics discussed. The final evaluation is expressed in thirtieths.
