Risk Ratios
In human genetics and genetic epidemiology, risk ratios can assume a number of different forms, including risk ratios for relatives, for candidate genes, and for genetic markers. The goal of many genetic studies is to quantify the risk of disease occurrence associated with particular genetic factors. The strength of this association can depend on interactions between environmental and genetic f...
متن کاملCommunicating Risk for Sex Offenders: Risk Ratios for Static-2002R
Aim/Background. Actuarial risk tools are commonly used in corrections and forensic mental health settings.

Relative risk is one useful metric for communicating an offender's risk of reoffending. Methods. In the current study, risk ratios were computed f...
متن کاملPrescribed therapy for asthma: therapeutic ratios and outcomes
BACKGROUND Inhaled corticosteroids (ICS) are the cornerstone of asthma therapy. The ICS-to-total-asthma-medication ratios, calculated from claims data, indicate potentially risky disease management in asthma. Our aim was to assess the utility of ICS-to-total-asthma-medication ratios from primary care electronic medical records (EMRs) in detecting patients at risk of asthma exacerbation, as appr...
متن کاملThe relative merits of risk ratios and odds ratios.
When a study outcome is rare in all strata used for an analysis, the odds ratio estimate of causal effects will approximate the risk ratio; therefore, odds ratios from most case-control studies can be interpreted as risk ratios. However, if a study outcome is common, the odds ratio will be further from 1 than the risk ratio. There is debate regarding the merits of risk ratios compared with odds...
