Hypothesis Testing
Question
The health services of several countries are considering, or have recently introduced, screening programs for abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA). An abdominal aortic aneurysm is a widening of the aorta (the main artery in the body) at the point where it passes down through the abdomen towards the pelvis. Because of the aneurysm, the wall of the aorta is weak and can rupture at any time, often resulting in sudden death. The larger the aneurysm becomes, the greater the risk of rupture. It is possible, however, to detect an AAA with an ultrasound scan of the abdomen. Once detected the aneurysm can be regularly monitored and, if necessary, surgically repaired. Supporters of screening believe that detection of AAA in the early stages with an ultrasound scan can prevent complications and deaths due to rupture of the aneurysm. Imagine that a screening program for AAA has been operating in your country for the past ten years and that the government has appointed you to conduct a study to determine its effectiveness. A randomized controlled trial has been ruled out, because it is considered unethical to randomize people to the control group. Outline the study you would conduct, assuming that AAA takes at least five years to develop, that detection in the early stages leads to a 80% ‘cure’ rate, and that approximately 60% of people aged 60 to 75 are regularly screened. Include the following points in your answer:
a. The null hypothesis you want to test.
b. The type of study design you would choose, and why it is the most appropriate design for determining the effectiveness of screening for AAA.
c. Selection of subjects for your study.
d. Measurement of exposure.
e. The potential sources of bias and confounding, and the steps you would take to minimize them.
f. How you would analyze your results.
g. The potential weaknesses of your study design.
Summary
This question or case study belongs to statistics. The question is about a medical condition called abdominal aorta aneurysm which is the expansion of the abdominal aorta to about 50% of the normal size. Depending on the present prevalence of this condition, a hypothesis has been proposed that people 60% of the people between the ages of 60 to 75 are screened and that 80% of such cases can be cured. This hypothesis has to be tested with a sample group and available information. A deeper explanation has been given in the solution.

WHAT OUR STUDENTS SAY
The motivational strategy case study handed to me by my professor was a bit confusing one. I was not sure how to approach the issue wherein the workers were not dissatisfied with the salary but felt de-motivated due to the high attrition rate. Then I came across a really helpful HRM expert from HwA , who provided a wonderful solution. I got good grades in that assignment and since then I always take their help for my works.

There was a research based assignment on the clinical services available for the aboriginals of New Zealand and for that I needed some expert who knows the nursing industry of New Zealand more than anything else. Luckily here I got hold of one lovely professor who helped me that assignment and many other assignments in the due time.
Sharon Nash Student
Honestly speaking, I never thought that anybody could have provided me with so accurate solutions to a subject which is so niche by nature. Any assignment expert from USA or UK cannot actually know the details of the Singapore Taxation Law assignments. However, luckily HwA has a dedicated set of assignment experts from Singapore itself, who helped me get good grades all through.

I was having difficulty in structuring and writing the nuclear chemistry assignment on Balancing Nuclear Equations & Predicting the Product of a Nuclear Reaction. The nuclear chemistry assignment expert guided me through the process in such a way that I not only finished writing the assignment but also acquired a clear concept of the topic.
Ellen Roberts Student
The topic I had selected for my dissertation required to include a report on the local markets of New South Wales. It was difficult getting help online as the data available are mostly generic and difficult to understand cohesively. Moreover, the majority of the online dissertation writing services online are located abroad somewhere in USA or UK. I was happy to see that HwA has dissertation writing helpers from not only Australia, but New South Wales itself and they cater specifically to students like us, who are from or studying in Australia.

Hello Allison,I love the 2nd image that you did! I also, had never heard of SumoPaint, is something that I will have to exolpre a bit! I understand completely the 52 (or so) youtube videos that you probably watched. Sometimes they have what you want, sometimes they don't! However, it is always satisfying when you are able to produce something that you have taught yourself. Great job!Debra 0 likes
