Estimating adjusted prevalence ratio in clustered cross-sectional epidemiological data
BACKGROUND Many epidemiologic studies report the odds ratio as a measure of association for cross-sectional studies with common outcomes. In such cases, the prevalence ratios may not be inferred from the estimated odds ratios. This paper overviews the most commonly used procedures to obtain adjusted prevalence ratios and extends the discussion to the analysis of clustered cross-sectional studie...
متن کاملPrevalence 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 evaluate different models for the multivariate estimation of the PR. METHODS A system of linear differential equations corresponding to a dynamic model of a cohort with a chronic disease was developed. At any point in time,...
متن کاملMethods for estimating prevalence ratios in cross-sectional studies.
OBJECTIVE To empirically compare the Cox, log-binomial, Poisson and logistic regressions to obtain estimates of prevalence ratios (PR) in cross-sectional studies. METHODS Data from a population-based cross-sectional epidemiological study (n = 2072) on elderly people in Sao Paulo (Southeastern Brazil), conducted between May 2003 and April 2005, were used. Diagnoses of dementia, possible cases ...
متن کاملObtaining adjusted prevalence ratios from logistic regression models in cross-sectional studies.
In the last decades, the use of the epidemiological prevalence ratio (PR) instead of the odds ratio has been debated as a measure of association in cross-sectional studies. This article addresses the main difficulties in the use of statistical models for the calculation of PR: convergence problems, availability of tools and inappropriate assumptions. We implement the direct approach to estimate...
متن کاملEstimating HIV-1 Fitness Characteristics from Cross-Sectional Genotype Data
Despite the success of highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) in the management of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-1 infection, virological failure due to drug resistance development remains a major challenge. Resistant mutants display reduced drug susceptibilities, but in the absence of drug, they generally have a lower fitness than the wild type, owing to a mutation-incurred cost. Th...
