In a case-control study, unadjusted odds of previous transplant among sepsis cases was 2.2 times that of controls. After adjusting for gender, the odds ratio was 3.1. This suggests:
- Gender was not a confounder
- Gender was a positive confounder
- Gender was a negative confounder
Homework Answers
Since the odds ratio was 2.2 and after adjusting it was 3.1, this implies
Gender is a positive confounder

Researchers found a crude odds ratio of 1.8 in a case-control study. They stratified their analysis within levels of a binary potential confounder and found an odds ratio of 1.2 in one level of the confounder and an odds ratio of 2.8 in the other level of the confounder. A. Do you think they should present the adjusted odds ratio in the report of their results? B. Why or why not?

In a case control study published in 2013 risk factors for stroke in a population in rural Tanzania were assessed. Of particular interest was HIV status. A total of 200 stroke cases from 2 districts were identified at hospitals and 398 controls, randomly selected from the background census population, frequency matched for age (+/- 3 years) and sex. A total of 26 cases were HIV positive compared to 16 controls. Q1 Complete the “2 by 2” table (including headers) below...

Question 5 A recent case-control study compared the consumption of vitamins among those who infected with season influenza (cases) and those not affected by seasonal influenza (controls). The calculated odds ratios was. 0.61. The 95% confidence interval was 0.49-0.73. The most accurate interpretation of this result is: People who consume vitamins are 0.61 times more likely to contract seasonal influenza than those who do not consume vitamin. People who consume vitamins are 39% less likely to contract seasonal influenza than...

Suppose you conduct a case-control study of endometrial cancer, with 200 cases and 200 unmatched controls. According to medical records (which we will assume are correct), 150 of the cases and 100 of the controls have used postmenopausal estrogens. (a) Construct the appropriate 2x2 table, and compute and interpret the odds ratio for endometrial cancer associated with postmenopausal estrogen use.

To study the causes of an outbreak of aflatoxin poisoning in Africa, investigators conducted a case-control study with 40 case-patients and 80 controls. Among the 40 poisoning victims, 32 reported storing their maize inside rather than outside. Among the 80 controls, 20 stored their maize inside. a. Set up a 2 x 2 table and calculate the odds ratio for the association between inside storage of maize and illness. b. Interpret the odds ratio.

A case control-study was conducted looking at maternal exposure to amantadine, a suspected teratogen, and birth defects. The below 2 by 2 shows the data of the study Positive amantadine exposure No amantadine exposure Cases 15 350 Controls 7 950 Calculate the crude Odds Ratio. Does it appear that amantadine is associated with an increased risk of having a child with a birth defect? How would you interpret your Odds Ratio?
