Prevalence odds ratio or prevalence ratio in the analysis of cross sectional data: what is to be done?
OBJECTIVES: To review the appropriateness of the prevalence odds ratio (POR) and the prevalence ratio (PR) as effect measures in the analysis of cross sectional data and to eval...
Estimating the Relative Risk in Cohort Studies and Clinical Trials of Common Outcomes
Logistic regression yields an adjusted odds ratio that approximates the adjusted relative risk when disease incidence is rare (<10%), while adjusting for potential confounders. ...
Mendelian randomization: Using genes as instruments for making causal inferences in epidemiology
Abstract Observational epidemiological studies suffer from many potential biases, from confounding and from reverse causation, and this limits their ability to robustly identify...
Floating absolute risk: An alternative to relative risk in survival and case‐control analysis avoiding an arbitrary reference group
Abstract We discuss the problem of describing multiple group comparisons in survival analysis using the Cox model, and in matched case‐control studies. The standard method of co...
Mendelian randomization as an instrumental variable approach to causal inference
In epidemiological research, the causal effect of a modifiable phenotype or exposure on a disease is often of public health interest. Randomized controlled trials to investigate...
