Relative risk and odds ratio have been introduced in earlier reviews (see Statistics reviews 3, 6 and 8). This review describes the calculation and interpretation of their confidence intervals. The different circumstances in which the use of either the relative risk or odds ratio is appropriate and their relative merits are discussed. A method of measuring the impact of exposure to a risk factor is introduced. Measures of the success of a treatment using data from clinical trials are also considered.
相对风险和比值比已在早期综述中介绍过(见统计学综述3、6和8)。本综述描述了它们置信区间的计算和解释。讨论了使用相对风险或比值比合适的不同情况及其相对优点。介绍了一种衡量暴露于风险因素影响的方法。还考虑了使用来自临床试验的数据衡量治疗成功的指标。
