Formula Value Absolute risk reduction : ARR CER − EER: 0.3, or 30% Number needed to treat: NNT 1 / (CER − EER) 3.33 Relative risk (risk ratio) RR EER / CER: 0.25 Relative risk reduction: RRR (CER − EER) / CER, or 1 − RR: 0.75, or 75% Preventable fraction among the unexposed: PFu (CER − EER) / CER: 0.75 Odds ratio: OR (EE / EN) / (CE ...
In epidemiology, attributable fraction among the exposed (AF e) is the proportion of incidents in the exposed group that are attributable to the risk factor. The term attributable risk percent among the exposed is used if the fraction is expressed as a percentage. [ 1 ]
An odds ratio greater than 1 indicates that the condition or event is more likely to occur in the first group. And an odds ratio less than 1 indicates that the condition or event is less likely to occur in the first group. The odds ratio must be nonnegative if it is defined. It is undefined if p 2 q 1 equals zero, i.e., if p 2 equals zero or q ...

Frequently used measures of risk and benefit identified by Jerkel, Katz and Elmore, [4] describe measures of risk difference (attributable risk), rate difference (often expressed as the odds ratio or relative risk), population attributable risk (PAR), and the relative risk reduction, which can be recalculated into a measure of absolute benefit ...
In medical testing with binary classification, the diagnostic odds ratio (DOR) is a measure of the effectiveness of a diagnostic test. [1] It is defined as the ratio of the odds of the test being positive if the subject has a disease relative to the odds of the test being positive if the subject does not have the disease.
In practice the odds ratio is commonly used for case-control studies, as the relative risk cannot be estimated. [1] In fact, the odds ratio has much more common use in statistics, since logistic regression, often associated with clinical trials, works with the log of the odds ratio, not relative risk. Because the (natural log of the) odds of a ...
In epidemiology, preventable fraction among the unexposed (PFu), is the proportion of incidents in the unexposed group that could be prevented by exposure.It is calculated as = / =, where is the incidence in the exposed group, is the incidence in the unexposed group, and is the relative risk.
