Epidemiology of Hydrocephalus!

Here I synchronized Shakira’s Ojos asi track with my own Hydrocephalus MP3.

Epidemiology of hydrocephalous (Martin-Laez, Caballero-Arzapalo, Lopez-Menendez, Arango-Lasprilla, & Vazquez-Barquero, 2015) (Kamble, Venkataramana, & Raghunath, 2011) (Yang et al., 2015)

SQL

Create Table Hydrocephalus

Column ID

Column Age (int)

Column SurgeonName

Column Race

Column IncomeLevel

ColumnICDCode

 

Then I can create another Table

Create Table  Insurance

Column ID;

Column Insurance

Column ZipCode

ColumnICDCode

 

Now, applying primary key, I can fetch useful information what I need for analysis, then I can send it SAS.

In SAS, I will store in libray and will rename it.

Proc

Set

Proc Print

Run;

Then I will do another analysis (logistic).

With the help of SAS, and other data visualization tools lie (Tableu) , I will presne the data in most understandable way.

Here I can  use Java Programming too.

 

  • I can create the database of patients with hydrocephalus who underwent for shunt.
  • With epi knowledge, I would love design studies to know the exact causes of hydrocephalus in adult age group.
  • I will apply mathematical model to arrange risk factors and outcome
  • I will do analysis with SAS
  • With Java programing, at present knowledge, I can produce coding which might be useful for simple app
  • I am in process of learning Python, which might be useful for me in creation of modeling for presentation of Hydrocephalus data on maps. (cartographic presentation)
