Words are hard for you bro lol. Appreciate the repetition tho. Walking into step 3 now. Let’s get it
Thank you very much Dr. Neil. It was very helpful video to have the keywords and the main points as regards Lead, Length, Confounding, Recall, sampling, procedural, etc. bias.. Please upload more videos, your teaching skills are magnificent..
Shaima, Thank you for the comment... We will keep moving forward!!
Amazing video. Can you do a video on available, anchoring bias? Thank you
Thank you so much . Very helpful videos
That's music to my ears.
Thanks for the great video! Could you do a video about confounding vs.Effect modification? Thanks for your help!
Mattie, Thank you for the comment... I'll see what I have that makes that easy to differentiate. I remember it's in my original notes... but let me look.
Unlike confounding, effect modification is a biological phenomenon in which the exposure has a different impact in different circumstances. Another good example is the effect of smoking on risk of lung cancer. Smoking and exposure to asbestos are both risk factors for lung cancer. Non-smokers exposed to asbestos have a 3-4 fold increased risk of lung cancer, and most studies suggest that smoking increases the risk of lung cancer about 20 times. However, shipyard workers who chronically inhaled asbestos fibers and also smoked had about a 64-fold increased risk of lung cancer. In other words, the effects of smoking and asbestos were not just additive - they were multiplicative. This suggests synergism or interaction, i.e., that the effect of smoking is somehow magnified in people who have also been exposed to asbestos. Multivariable methods can also be used to assess effect modification.

Timing is always PERFECTION!!
Thank you doctor
Mohammed, You are welcome. Thank you for the comment.
Amazing video and very helpful, Thank you for taking the time out to do these
Just had a doubt about Procedure bias. FA Step1 says- it has something to do with different procedures for different groups
in this video you mention - its the pressure from the attending while filling out an eval
they sound different to me
Errol, Sorry for such a delay... It may be a little time or another viewer can help quicker. It's hard for me to answer the specifics the further I get away from making videos... I loose details without re-watching.. I will relook...just need some time..
Thank you for this excellent presentation...keep it up sir
Mohammad, You are most welcome.
day after tomorrow is exam and watching videos gives me confidence ,,, THANKYOU FOR ALL OF THESE EFFORTS
Jamil, CONFIDENCE IS KEY... The exam is just a step in the process... CRUSH IT!!
Thank you, Dr Neil! How can we differentiate between sampling and selection bias? They always look kinda same to me.
It is the same. Sampling=Selection
Lead-time bias screening and detecting malignant disease early and makes it look like the test increased the survival duration. Length time bias detecting more slow progressive cases as benign diseases have a longer duration of screening time and make it look like it increased survival duration compared to rapidly progressive with shorter duration of screening time.
Thank you Sandeep!!
Boss, if I come to USA for work ....... I would love to pay you a thanks visit 💐💐
You have been a rock-solid support in preparation for USMLE 🙏🏻🙏🏻
Sounds like a plan.
Thank you Dr Randy Neil, for making videos on various topics, It's really helpful. So Sir, do you have such topics on you future videos list like Errors, more precisely Human errors in medicine relating to Execution failures (eg slips vs lapses) and Planning failures (eg Rule based mistakes vs Knowledge based mistakes) and topic on Cognitive bias like availibility heuristic or anchoring heuristic and others. It would be really awesome if you clarify these topics to us. Thank you!
TGMO, Thank you for the feedback. I taught one class on ETHICS way back... I'll need to see what material I used. From what I recall, it was a bit dry...but I will look.
really helpful
PERFECT
Dr Neil, you’re brilliant - you simply everything that we hate and make it so accessible. Your gentle manner and calm just add the magic to it all. To the plethora of thanks that are already stated here, I’d like to add mine and if there is a link to donate to your channel, I would gladly do so 🙏🏻
No need to donate. Let's have a drink someday after you get into residency
A study is designed to evaluate the efficacy of a new drug, KM28. The study will compare X plus standard careversus standard care alonewith regard to decreasing the incidence of recurrent breast cancer. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) will approve the new drug if X plus standard care decreases the rate of breast cancer recurrence by at least 40% compared to standard therapy alone. The recurrence rate on standard therapy is found to be 8%. In order for the FDA to approve X, what is the maximal incidence of recurrent disease acceptable for women treated with X plus standard therapy?
2.8%
3.2%
4.8%
5.2%
3.6%
Can you help with this Dr Randy?
thank you
Hi Dr.Randy I was wondering with the question of (the new detector for brain tumor) the student were concerned that the new detector may affect the nature of progression of the tumor which is slowly progressive tumor . SO if they think the new dector may affect the progression wouldn't that be classify as Lead time Bias. I understand when slowly progressive is
length time bias but would like more clarification upon my Question. THank you so much Dr. Randy
best regard Sami
This may have been my error in word selection, by 'progression', I meant speed. My rule of thumb to differentiate between "LEAD TIME" and "LENGTH TIME" is EARLY & SLOWLY PROGRESSING respectively... Perhaps there may be an easier way. This is the only way that I know though... Thankyou for the feedback.
I dont get about seleaction bias plz make video
Thankyou sir!! But, they are including new biases like ascertainment . Survelliance ... please make a video on that too. Thankyou
Rohit... I will look into it... Off hand I'd have to research. I'm not that smart to know those off-hand...
thank you sir
You are welcome Riya...
Very helpful thanx (:
PERFECT!!
isn't the 1st one supposed to be report bias?
thank u
You are welcome.
Great Video...Kindly make a video on Survival Analysis....My Exam is in 4 weeks.
Talha, That might be a tough one... Not sure I have that material.
Grt one... dr but I can’t see other videos .. u posted about defense and some behavior science... ?
I pulled the old Psych videos...remaking them... shorter, more concise. Original questions. I will post... just want to make sure its quality.
Randy Neil, MD they were also very good. Can u upload those videos again. If it’s not a prblm... waiting for more...
Yes please dont delete those videos .. you posted three videos that day.. all were extremely good :)
You should teach in kaplan videos.awesome work.
Ali, My goal is for you guys NOT to have to get in any further debt by having to pay for review courses when there should be enough of us out there to get through this exam process as a TEAM.
👍
Ancy, Glad it was helpful...
👍👍👍👍
👍🏻
I don't math. Biostat is math on roids. But I now have The Great Equalizer that is Randy, Son of Neil. And so all things are perfectly balanced, as they should be. Say, what are the odds of that, eh?
MMO, I'd say the odds SUCCESS are rising (OR 5.5, CI: 4.7-5.8, P-value: 0.0001) the more we ALL WORK together on this... Help next guy in line. Appreciate the comment...!!
@@RandyNeilMD YOU the man, Dr. Neil! Definitely appreciate all the awesomeness you share with us, more than words can ever express. Stay blessed and stay safe!
Thankyou! It's very helpful :)
PERFECT!!
Thank you, so helpful video ...
Bini, You are most welcome.
