Statistics questions appear in every iteration of the progress test and offer easy marks to those in the know! Join us as we run through the basics of common stats (e.g., attributable risk, relative risk, sensitivity/specificity, PPV/NPV, odds ratios, likelihood ratios, etc) and how to calculate them in time-pressured exams! In the second half of our talk, we'll also take you through how to critically appraise a research paper -- particularly useful for any intercalating students and those involved in research projects!
