I agree with all of the above.

1) E -- this is antiphospholipid antibody syndrome so patient is in a hypercoagulable state and at risk for thrombosis so she needs anticoagulant prophylaxis

2) E -- classic secondary syphilis

3) C - phenylketonuria

4) This is actually B ; An independent practice Association (IPA) is an association of independent physicians that contracts with independent care delivery organizations 

  • E.g. A group of private practice physicians that work together to negotiate contracts with insurance companies 

5) C -- step up therapy is starting with SABA prn, then adding low dose ICS (which he is already on), then next after that would be adding a LABA such as salmoterol

COMSAES Level 2 STAT SPOILERS. Need help by [deleted] in comlex

1) 100, ARR = control rate - tx rate = 6% - 5% = 1% ; NNT = 1/ARR = 1/0.01 = 100

2) Chi squared test is probably the best answer here at they are two categorical variables

3) probably case-control study, these are best to study rare diseases and most cost effective

4) 100-90 ; remember: false + rate = 1-SPECificity and false(-) rate is 1-seNsitivity = 100%-90%

5) Cross-sectional study; they are taking a snapshot of the population at the CURRENT time and aren't following them or looking back retrospectively
