Document Summary
A= exposure is present and disease is present. B= exposure is present and disease is absent. C= exposure is absent and disease is present. D= exposure is absent and disease is absent. Case control studies use odds ratios to measure association between frequency of exposure and frequency of outcome used in case control studies. The or is called an indirect measure of risk because incidence rates have not been used. Instead the risk of an outcome associated with an exposure is estimated by calculating the odds of exposure among the cases and controls. Cells that contain a and c are the cases. Cells that contain b and d are the controls. The formula is the ratio of odds in favor of exposure among the disease group (the ceases to the odds in favor of exposure among the no disease group (the controls) Odds that a case was exposed = (cid:3002)(cid:3004) Odds that a control was exposed = (cid:3003)(cid:3005)

- Compute the Person-Years of smoking exposure using the tablebelow. (Hint: add the years at risk of throat cancer (TC) â seeexamples).
- Once they develop TC they are no longer at risk and their yearsin the study canât be counted.
- Add each personâs years of exposure in the right column andenter the value in the box next to âTotal P-Y at Risk of ThroatCancerâ.
- 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.
