- The odds ratio is a ratio of two sets of odds: the odds of the event occurring in an exposed group versus the odds of the event occurring in a non-exposed group. Odds ratios commonly are used to report case-control studies. The odds ratio helps identify how likely an exposure is to lead to a specific event.

Calculating Odds Ratios. A study looking at breast cancer in women compared cases with non-cases, and found that 75/100 cases did not use calcium supplements compared with 25/100 of the non-cases. 1) Develop a table to display the data. 2) Calculate the odds of exposure in cases and non-cases.

The estimated odds ratio is 1.4 when simultaneously accounting for specialty, spending region, sole proprietor status, sex, and the interaction between specialty and sex. A different odds ratio would be found if the model included a different set of explanatory variables.

An odds ratio (OR) calculates the relationship between a variable and the likelihood of an event occurring. A common interpretation for odds ratios is identifying risk factorsby assessing the relationship between exposure to a risk factor and a medical outcome. For example, is there an association between exposure to a chemical and a disease? To ca...
Before you can calculate and interpret an odds ratio, you must know what the odds of an event represents. In common usage, people tend to use odds and probability interchangeably. However, in statistics, it has an exact definition. It is a specific type of probability. Odds relate to a binary outcome where the outcome either occurs or does not occu...
Odds ratios with groups quantify the strength of the relationship between two conditions. They indicate how likely an outcome is to occur in one context relative to another. The odds ratio formula below shows how to calculate it for conditions A and B. The denominator (condition B) in the odds ratio formula is the baseline or control group. Consequ...
Due to the odds ratio formula, the value of one becomes critical during interpretation because it indicates both conditions have equal odds. Consequently, analysts always compare their OR results to one when interpreting the results. As the OR moves away from one in either direction, the association between the condition and outcome becomes stronge...
The equation below expands the earlier odds ratio formula for calculating an OR with two conditions (A and B). Again, it’s the ratio of two odds. Hence, the numerator and denominator are also ratios. In the infection example above, we assessed the relationship between treatment and the odds of being infected. Our two conditions were the treatment (...
When you perform binary logistic regression using the logit transformation, you can obtain ORs for continuous variables. Those odds ratio formulas and calculations are more complex and go beyond the scope of this post. However, I will show you how to interpret odds ratios for continuous variables. Unlike the groups in the previous examples, a conti...
So far, we’ve only looked at the point estimates for odds ratios. Those are the sample estimates that are a single value. However, sample estimates always have a margin of error thanks to sampling error. Confidence intervals and hypothesis tests (p-values) can account for that margin of error when you’re using samples to draw conclusions about popu...

There are 2 main measures of association commonly used in epidemiology: the risk ratio/rate ratio (relative risk) and the odds ratio. The former is calculated for study designs that collect data on incidence: cohorts and RCTs.
