Document Summary

Unit 4 (part 2): measures of association & disease frequency. Rr = risk of disease/outcome in the exposed risk of disease/outcome in the non-exposed group. Exposure -ve a c a+c b d b+d a+b c+d n = a+b+c+d. Rr = p(o+|e+) = [ a / (a+b) ] Note: p(x|y) refers to the probability of x given y. Numerators are included in the denominator (a & c are in the numerator & denominator) I. e. interpret relative risk of 2 means that the risk of disease in the exposed group is two times (2x greater) the risk of disease in the non-exposed group. Or = odds of disease/outcome in the exposed odds of disease/outcome in the non-exposed group. Disease/outcome: or = (a/b) = a x d (c/d) = b x c. Exposure of d/o: or = (a/c) = a x d (b/d) = b x c. Do not include numerator in the denominator.

  • Compute the Person-Years of smoking exposure using the tablebelow. (Hint: add the years at risk of throat cancer (TC) – seeexamples).
  • Once they develop TC they are no longer at risk and their yearsin the study can’t be counted.
  • Add each person’s years of exposure in the right column andenter the value in the box next to “Total P-Y at Risk of ThroatCancer”.
  • Then count the P-Y at risk for the Current/Former Smokers(exposed) and the P-Y at risk for the Never-Smokers (notexposed)
  • Using the Person-Years for each exposure group as thedenominator and the number of TC recorded for each exposure group;compute the Incidence Density for TC risk in current/former smokers(exposed) (IDE) & compute the incidence density forTC risk in never smokers (not exposed) (IDNE).
  • The compute the Incidence Density Ratio (also call RR), dividethe IDEby the IDNE. This value is interpretedthe same as the Relative Risk.
