Final Exam F7 QIII

Final Exam F7 QIII

by Melanie Molina -

I just want to make sure I'm reading this question correctly. The preamble to the question says, "Now, let's look at the primary outcome, which is a composite of stroke, embolism, bleeding, and death." However, QIII asks about Panel C, which refers to the secondary endpoint of ischemic stroke, not mortality. So we should be thinking about these potential biases as applying to ischemic stroke and not mortality, correct? 

Thanks.

You are right. Only the first panel refers to the primary outcome. Panels C refers to the secondary endpoint of ischemic stroke. Melanie, you should answer this question interpreting "event rate" as referring to ischemic stroke. But for those of you who are not clinicians, you can answer just by knowing that the event rate refers to the rate of something bad that the screening is intended to prevent.
