The formula to calculate the adjusted odds ratio is:
\[ OR = \frac{E}{O} \]
Where:
An adjusted odds ratio is a statistical measure used to determine the strength of association between an exposure and an outcome, while controlling for other variables. It is commonly used in epidemiology and medical research to assess the effect of a particular risk factor on a specific outcome. By adjusting for confounding variables, the adjusted odds ratio provides a more accurate estimate of the true relationship between the exposure and the outcome.
Consider an example where:
Using the formula:
\[ OR = \frac{5}{2} = 2.50 \]
This means the adjusted odds ratio is 2.50.
