And each group will work as a team and design a study about the prognosis of subclinical hyperthyroidism. We’ll have two groups presenting their designs and the two groups criticizing their work. Before you design the study, you can search the literatures to get some ideas about subclinical hyperthyroidism. The study design has not to be perfect, just try to consider the principles questions in prognosis. Each team needs to bring a computer to the classroom. During class, you’ll have some time to discuss your study, but it’s better to have an outline of your study design before you go to the class. And figure out who will present the study before class. Consider the following questions: 1 What are the potential prognostic factors for subclinical hyperthyroidism? 2 What specific prognostic factor you want to study? What study design you want to choose? Explain it. 3 Who will be your study population? a) Your inclusion criteria and exclusion criteria. b) How do you plan to select them? Hospital based or primary based? 4 What is your exposure ( definition)? 5 What outcomes do you want to measure? How do you plan to get them and have them ascertained? 6 How long is the follow-up period? What will you do to prevent loss to follow up? 7 What association measure do you plan to use? OR, RR, HR, Kaplan-Meier curve? 8 What potential confounders do you want to adjust?
