OUR TEAMLAB 1 WRITE-UPIndependent and Dependent VariablesIndependent Variable: Dosage Dependent Variable: Amount of Inflammotin present in subject's blood over a 3 month period. Experimental DesignGroups
Age
Subject SelectionAn unstratified random sample of willing elderly patients from the ages of 65-75 years with inflammation in multiple hospitals within the valley limits. Each subject will be randomly assigned to a group, with no predetermined placing.
Sources of Error and BiasAdverse reaction to the drug; we could monitor the patients for these reactions, and if so, remove them from the sample. Interactions of other medications; we could record the other medications each patient is on and observe any trends among the commonly used drugs to see if they have any effect on the drug. The patients may pass before the trial period ends; this cannot be controlled but they must be removed from the sample.
