Risk difference: RD = [a/(a + b)] − [c/(c + d)]; relative risk: RR = [a/(a + b)]/[c/(c + d)]; odds ratio: OR = (a/b)/(c/d) = ad/bc. A cohort study can be conducted either prospectively or retrospectively (see Fig. 3.2). Since a retrospective cohort study...

(this included prospective and retrospective cohort studies, nested case–control studies, case-cohort studies), (3) reported risk ratios (relative risk (RR), odds ratio (OR), hazard ratio (HR)) with corresponding 95% confidence intervals (CI) and 4) the papers were published following a ...
When the risk ratio cannot be obtained directly (such as in a case-control study), the odds ratio is calculated and often interpreted as if it were the risk ratio. Subsequently, the term relative risk commonly refers to either the risk ratio or the odds ratio. However, only under certain...
poor vision did not achieve a significant odds ratio (odds ratio = 1.50 relative to subjects with excellent vision, 95% CI = 0.91–2.45). In a cross-sectional study of subjects aged ≥70 years in Britain, the prevalence of depression was significantly higher in visually impaired peop...

This cohort study assesses outcomes associated with telehealth vs in-person ambulatory health care encounters among commercially insured US adults with
CVD was strongly associated with mortality risk among the ED fall group (RR = 1.81, 95% CI: 1.67–1.97) and showed interactions with both age and fall history. Conclusion In this large study of adults aged ≥ 65 years attending the ED utilising data from national administrative ...
Results:14703 people were included in this study, of whom 7863 (53·5%) had a more than 7% increase in BMI. Compared with lamivudine, use of dolutegravir (odds ratio [OR] 1·27, 95% CI 1·17-1·38), raltegravir (1·37, 1·20-1·56), and tenofovir alafenamide (1·38, 1·22-...
5. Several previous studies have demonstrated the risk of MI in SSNHL subjects6,7. A population-based case-control study reported an odds ratio of 1.55 for a history of SSNHL in acute myocardial infarction (AMI) subjects (95% confidence interval [95% CI] = 1.30–1.70, P < ...
