NEET-PG 2017 - Community Medicine PYQs Practice Questions

Q: The following statistical diagram is known as

Forest plot. ***Forest plot*** - This diagram, featuring a series of horizontal lines (representing **confidence intervals**) for different studies or outcomes, centered around a point estimate (often a **hazard ratio** or odds ratio), is characteristic of a forest plot. - Forest plots are commonly used in **meta-analyses** to graphically present the results of individual studies and their combined effect. *Kaplan Meier plot* - A Kaplan-Meier plot is a **survival curve** that shows the probability of a subject surviving beyond a certain time point. - It consists of a **stepwise function** decreasing over time, rather than individual point estimates with confidence intervals. *Spaghetti plot* - A spaghetti plot is used to display **multiple time series** on a single graph, where each line represents an individual's data over time. - This type of plot helps visualize **individual variability** and trends, but it does not represent hazard ratios or confidence intervals in the way shown. *Funnel plot* - A funnel plot is a scatter plot used to detect **publication bias** in meta-analyses, where the effect size is plotted against a measure of study precision. - It typically appears as a symmetrical, **funnel-shaped distribution** of points, which is visually distinct from the given diagram.

Q: The following symbol is used to depict awareness for which disease?

Breast cancer. ***Breast cancer*** - The **pink ribbon** is an internationally recognised symbol for breast cancer awareness. - It is prominently used in campaigns, especially during **Breast Cancer Awareness Month** in October, to promote screening and early detection. *Diabetes* - The symbol for diabetes awareness is typically a **blue circle**, representing the global unity in the fight against diabetes. - While it's a significant health issue, it does not use the pink ribbon for its awareness campaigns. *Cervical cancer* - The awareness ribbon for cervical cancer is typically **teal and white**. - This symbol highlights the importance of vaccination and regular screening tests like Pap smears. *Hypertension* - There isn't a universally recognized ribbon symbol for hypertension; however, sometimes a **red dress** or variations of a **red ribbon** are used for heart health awareness in general. - Hypertension awareness focuses on lifestyle modifications, regular monitoring, and medication adherence.

Q: The logo of which national health programme is shown below? (Recent NEET Pattern 2016-17)

RCH. ***Correct Option: RCH*** - The logo shown, with the tagline **"Health in Your Hands"** (and its Hindi equivalent), is the official logo for the **Reproductive and Child Health (RCH)** program in India. - This program focuses on improving the health of mothers, children, and adolescents through various interventions. *Incorrect Option: NRHM* - The **National Rural Health Mission (NRHM)** aims to provide accessible, affordable, and accountable healthcare, primarily to rural populations. - Its logo and thematic focus are broader than the family-centric imagery of the RCH logo, which specifically emphasizes reproductive and child health. *Incorrect Option: NPCDCS* - The **National Programme for Prevention and Control of Cancer, Diabetes, Cardiovascular Diseases and Stroke (NPCDCS)** focuses on non-communicable diseases. - Its objectives and visual branding are distinct from the RCH program, which targets maternal and child health. *Incorrect Option: Navjaat Shishu Suraksha Karyakram* - The **Navjaat Shishu Suraksha Karyakram** is a specific initiative under the broader RCH program, focusing on essential newborn care at birth. - While related, it is a component program, and its logo would be more specific to newborn care rather than the general "Health in Your Hands" message encompassing reproductive and child health.
