    The original definition of emergency in 1940, when ASA classification was first designed, was "a surgical procedure which, in the surgeon's opinion, should be performed without delay," [1] but is now defined as "when [a] delay in treatment would significantly increase the threat to the patient's life or body part."

  3. Risk difference - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Risk_difference

    The adverse outcome (black) risk difference between the group exposed to the treatment (left) and the group unexposed to the treatment (right) is −0.25 (RD = −0.25, ARR = 0.25). The risk difference (RD), excess risk , or attributable risk [ 1 ] is the difference between the risk of an outcome in the exposed group and the unexposed group.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hazard_ratio

    The relationship between treatment effect and the hazard ratio is given as . A statistically important, but practically insignificant effect can produce a large hazard ratio, e.g. a treatment increasing the number of one-year survivors in a population from one in 10,000 to one in 1,000 has a hazard ratio of 10.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cancer_slope_factor

    Cancer slope factors (CSF) are used to estimate the risk of cancer associated with exposure to a carcinogenic or potentially carcinogenic substance. A slope factor is an upper bound, approximating a 95% confidence limit , on the increased cancer risk from a lifetime exposure to an agent by ingestion or inhalation .

    Risk score are designed to represent an underlying probability of an adverse event denoted {=} given a vector of explanatory variables containing measurements of the relevant risk factors. In order to establish the connection between the risk factors and the probability, a set of weights β {\displaystyle \beta } is estimated using a ...
