All right, welcome.

My name is Divine.

This is episode 590 of the Divine Intervention Podcast.

And to this podcast, we're going to be going over, again, the Step 1 for 120 series.

There's going to be Series 8.

We're going to do Question 71 to 80, God willing.

And again, if you're studying for step two step three don't

tune out your mind with this stuff um i don't know if you've noticed but step two step three

they've now really blended a lot with step one just in terms of coverage and in terms of how

material is tested um i think you'd be setting yourself up for not a very good outcome on your exam.

If you don't pay attention to just having some basic understanding of the basic sciences.

All right.

So let's pick up from question 71.

Our randomized control trial, our randomized clinical trial is conducted to compare wound healing

and cosmetic differences between two surgical procedures for closing skin wounds following cesarean delivery.

A total of a thousand women undergoing cesarean delivery during a six-month period I enrolled in the study, which was 85% of the total number of patients undergoing the procedure.

The results show a wound infection rate of 12 cases per thousand women for procedure A

and 18 crises per thousand women for procedure B.

Which of the following is the best estimate of the absolute risk reduction for wound infection

following procedure A compared with procedure B, right?

So this is a straight-up biostatistics question. Remember, absolute risk reduction is literally

a difference in risk. You're comparing two interventions and you're comparing, hey,
