數據分析與決策科學新統計達人之訣竅 藍忠孚 國立陽明大學 教授兼醫學院副院長 98年醫療機構調查研討會 January 16, 2009
奈米與千兆位元組 1 • International System of Units (abbreviated “SI” from the French Le Systeme International d’Unites) • The SI was developed in 1960 from the old meter-kilogram-second (mks) system rather than the centimeter-gram-second (cgs) system. • Because the SI is not static, units are created & definitions are modified through international agreement among many nations as the technology of measurement progresses, & as the precision of measurements improves.
奈米與千兆位元組 2 • Data for digital information storage is usually measured in bits (20); 1 bit – 0 or 1, true or false, low or high. • A group of 8 bits in a computer is called a byte (23). A byte is the common unit of measurement for computer architectures. • In architectures that are 16-bit or 32-bit, which operate on 2 or 4 bytes per clock cycle. • The decimal (十進位) prefixes kilo, mega etc, are strictly powers of 10. The powers of 2 are the binary (二進位) prefixes kibi, mebi etc.
資料集 (Result Set) • 百萬位元組 (megabytes), 十億位元組 (gigabytes), 兆位元組 (terabytes), 千兆位元組 (petabytes). • U.S. Library of congress的藏書,只有二十兆位元組. • Wal Mart 資料庫有五百七十兆位元組. • Google有約四千兆位元組資料需日夜分析. • 兆位元資料採礦 (tera mining) • 超級數據分析 (super crunching) • 超級數據達人 (super crunchers)
蘋果橘子經濟學 • 廠商如何知道我們的品味和偏好? • 政府如何瞭解民眾需要和期望? • 面對金融海嘯,人們生活行為會如何改變? • 喜歡看棒球和喜歡看籃球的人,飲食習慣有何不同? • 重視節能減碳的人與用信用卡的人,有什麼關係?
Conventional Approach • 依賴單一小型數據分析、統計方法、邏輯推理、科學知識; • 已可局部掌握變遷趨勢,發掘問題癥結,預測未來方向,協助我們作選擇. • 預測目前還是不精確的科學. • 直覺和經驗和有限數據分析為主的決策.
Super-crunching Approach • 電腦資料庫的容量大增,且速度飛快. • 超大資料網路和採礦技術在發威. • 改變企業和政府更準確預測民眾需要,精密的社會工程(social enginery),正在席捲世界. • 超級數據分析可發掘出隱藏的關聯,開展具更佳視野的資料導向決策. • 藉超級數據和邏輯分析來思考,可增加更多、更好、更具創意之抉擇與決策.

新世紀的知識經濟五層次(Knowledge-based Economy) • 數據 (Data) • 資訊 (Information) • 知識 (Knowledge) • 內化 (Internalization) • 洞察力 (Insights)
認知、思考、實踐和預測之層次 • 發生何事? (Know-what) • description • to describe, to understand, … • 為何如此? (Know-why) • inference association, causation/correlation • to explore, to examine, to diagnose, … • 如何解決? (Know-how) • prescription/intervention effectiveness, efficiency, equity, impact, … • to test, to intervene, to correct, to cure, … • 未來如何? (Know-what-next) • forecast • to project, to estimate, to predict, …
現代科學之兩大支柱 • 實驗 Experiments (觀察 observations) (manipulation, control, randomization, & replication) • 邏輯與推理 Logic & Reasoning (數學 mathematics)
關聯性(Association) • 因果關係(causation; causal relationship) • 相關關係(correlation; correlational relationship) • Multivariate analysis • True experimentation
因果關係之實例: 健康 • Therapy: treatment improvement in patient’s condition • Etiology: causal factors disease incidence • Health services: services improvement in health of community
Scientific Methods & Its Applications in Policy Making • Knowing / Learning / Analyzing & Evaluating • Thinking (macro/micro, alternatives/options) • Speculation (trade-offs, pros & cons, the best/worst scenarios, game theory) • Innovation (creative/strategic thinking) • Logic • Reasoning • Argumentation • Conclusion
Policy Challenges Encountered by the Decision Makers • Dealing with scarcity • Funding systems equitably & sustainably • Allocating resources effectively • Delivering care efficiently • Implementing change
Demographics & Burden of Disease/Disability • Living longer & aging society • Increasing diversity • Lengthening years of education • Widening household income gap • Shifting burden of disease/disability – lifestyle behaviors, chronic diseases, mental illness, & emerging & reemerging infectious diseases
Health Finance & Health Insurance • Escalated healthcare costs • Market dynamics • The poor, the near poor, the vulnerabled/disadvantaged & the unprotected • Increasing tiering of health insurance • Continuous debates on the role & responsibility among the family, the employer, & the society
Health Paradigm Shifts • Adherence to the biomedical model -> expansion to a multifactorial view of health; • Attention to acute episodic illness -> extension to chronic illness management; • Focus on disease -> broader focus to diseased person & the disease; • Focus on individuals -> more focus on communities & defined specific populations; • Cure as uncompromised goal -> adjustment to better care & better quality of life.
The Direction in Resolving Issues in Health System • Improving access to care for people; • Containing health care costs; • Maintaining quality of services; • Empowering patient’s rights. Convergence of“health development” with“socioeconomic development”
Steps of Evidence-based Policymaking • Asking an answerable question; • Tracking down the best evidence; • Critical appraisal; • Integrating the appraisal w/ expertise & people preference; & • Auditing performance in step 1-4.
Factors to ConsiderWhen Selecting a Health Topic for Audit • Important impact on health • Likely increase in morbidity/mortality if care is poor. • Affects a large number of people • Improving quality of care in common conditions usually has more impact than in rare conditions. • Convincing evidence is available about appropriate care • Otherwise, efforts to change current performance are difficult to justify. • Good reasons for believing that current performance could be improved • Concentrates effort on optimum elements of care
Questions • How healthy are we? • How long can we live? • How good are our life should be?
The Major Categories of Health Statistics • Health status: • prevalence & burden of disease (BOD) & epidemiological concerns • Health services: • Service delivery, treatments, quality of care • Health care financing: • Costs, access, insurance • Outcomes of care & efficacy: • Health utility, quality of life
The Significance of Health Statistics 1 • To document (also to monitor trends in) health status/needs of the citizen & of the special population groups; • To analyze strength & weakness of health care financing & delivery; • To identify health problems or health policy issues (e.g., health disparities); • To provide evidence-based information for health system reform;
The Significance of Health Statistics 2 • To evaluate the effects/impacts of health policies, programs, & activities; • To support biomedical & health services research; • To optimize the health resources allocation & health priority setting; • To do comparative systems analysis & to learn from each others.
Measuring & Valuing Life, Health, Health Care, & Health System 1 • Life course approach • Spectrum of care • Individual health vs. Population health • Physical, mental, & social health • Quantity of life vs. Quality of life • Biomedical & non-biomedical determinants • Social gradients & health • Aging & functioning, disability, &/or frailty
Measuring & Valuing Life, Health, Health Care, & Health System 2 • Negative & positive health indicators • Single & multiple health risks & problems • Single, composite, & summary measures • Causation/correlation of health & other variables • Including health w/ wealth, w/ happiness, w/ well-being, … • Evidence-based health policy & practices

ICF vs. ICD • International Classification of Functioning, Disability & Health (ICF) • Comprehensive classification of eight health & health-related domains: mobility, self care, pain, cognition, interpersonal activities, vision, sleep & energy, & affect (mood) • International standards for use in surveys & clinical encounters
Frailty: An Overlapping Concept • Aging • Increased vulnerability to disease & accidents over time • Disability • Functional limitations resulting from impairments • Comorbidity • Disease processes resulting from biology & exposures • Frailty • Multidimensional, unstable, heterogeneous
Frailty: Consensus Definition(Canadian initiative on frailty & Aging, 2003) • A syndrome encountered in older persons that has diverse predisposing, precipitating, enabling & reinforcing factors. The key feature is a state of vulnerability to adverse health outcomes. There is a characteristic clustering of features that can lead to its recognition. The balance between assets & deficits will determine the consequences for an individual. Adaptability, physical environment & social environment are important determinants of the impact of frailty. (ecological model in epidemiology)
Frailty Phenotype • Weight loss • Slow walking speed • Low levels of physical activity • Subjective exhaustion • Weakness (low grip strength) • 3-5 is “frail” • 1-2 is “intermediate” • 0 is “no frail” Fried LP et al. J Ger Med Sci. 2001
Dynamic Frailty Measures • Functional Independence • Barthel Index • Functional Homeostasis • Prior geriatric Assessment • Rules based definition • GCIF (Geriatrician’s Clinical Impression of Frailty) • CSHA Frailty Index • FI-CGA • General Screening • Edmonton frail Scale
Markers of Frailty • Inability to perform one or more of basic ADL in the three days prior to admission • A stroke in the past three months • Depression • Dementia • A history of falls • One or unplanned admissions in the past three months • Difficulty in walking • Malnutrition • Prolonged bed rest • Incontinence
High Risk Groups • Very old (>75 years) • Recently widowed • Living alone / socially isolated • Poor social/economic conditions • Recently discharged from hospital • Recently bereaved
Postponing Disability:Disability vs. Longevity • On population aging, researchers sought evidences to identify points of decline & potential intervention on disability. • Age structure & disability • Age at the onset of disability • Disability transition • Prospects for primary, secondary, & tertiary prevention of mortality, morbidity, disability, & frailty
Social & Economic Determinantsof Health • Poverty • Stress • Early life • Social exclusion • Work • Unemployment • Social support • Addiction • Food • Transport
Summary Measuresof Population Health • Healthy Life Year (HeaLY) • Disability-Adjusted Life Year (DALY) • Quality-Adjusted Life Year (QALY) • Health-Adjusted Life Expectancy (HALE) • Disease-free, Disability-free • life-year, person-year, person-day
Health-Adjusted Life Expectancy (HALE) • An extension of the notion of life expectancy to morbidity & disability, made possible the calculation of disease-free and disability-free life expectancy. • Providing the ability to monitor the consequences of the decrease in mortality among the oldest-old. • It implies successful aging or healthy and active aging.
