Indicators
1. Descriptive, cross-sectional studies:
Relative Values: proportions, ratios, rates (demographic, morbidity (incidence, prevalence) etc.
Measures of Central Tendency: mean, mode, median
Analysis of Variability: standard deviation, coefficient of variation,
Measures of authenticity: standard error, CI (confidence interval)

2. Analytical studies
Cohort:
RR -relative risk,
CI -confidence interval,
AR -attributable risk
SA -strength of association

Case – Control
OR -odds ratio,
CI -confidence interval,
AR -attributable risk
SA -strength of association

Randomized clinical trials

RR- relative risk,
95% CI,
NNT -number needed to treat,
ARR -absolute reduction of risk

Diagnostic studies
Se, -Sensibility
Sp, -Specificity
PPV, -Positive predictable value
NPV, -Negative predictable value
PR + - positive probabilities ratio
PR-. -negative probabilities ratio
