Odds ratio is a relative measure of effect that compares the 2 groups of a case-control study (chronic NSAID use vs. no chronic NSAID use). In this case-control study, the effect the investigators are measuring is renal impairment following one year of NSAID use. Accordingly, the odds ratio (OR) is calculated using the equation:
OR = ad/bc = (800 x 300)/(400 x 500) = 240000/200000 = 1.2.
Educational Objective: Odds ratio is defined as a relative measure of effect that compares the 2 groups of the case-control study. The odds ratio (OR) is calculated using the equation: OR = ad/bc |
