Hi Dr. Basunia, I have a quick question at time point 32:58 when you discuss alternate wording for the odds ratio example, can you further explain where the 70% stems from if there is an odds ratio of 1.7?
Hi Dr. Basunia, beforehand thanks you very much for such an incredible job resuming those complex topics. I am IMG from Colombia pursuing IM (waiting for the match results). I would like to ask you how did you boost your medical english skills assuming that English is not your native language.
Great question! English is not my native language. A good way to boost medical English would be to boost general spoken English. I watched a lot of movies with the subtitles on, and would try to imitate how the actors/actresses spoke. The best way is to actually practice - do it with real patients in a real clinical setting. Much like your clinical skills, it will improve with time and practice. Best of luck!
I literally might watch this series once a week! it is so useful and biostats is so tricky!!!
Thanks a lot! Very few genuine people are sharing knowledge for free for the masses.
You're very welcome. I am glad you found this content helpful!

Percentage conversion =
absolute value(1-OR) * 100%
Examples, OR = 1.9 --> 90% greater
OR = 2.5 --> 150% greater
OR = 0.45 --> 55% lower
OR = 0.25 --> 75% lower
