The two most logical epidemiological values to describe the
The two most logical epidemiological values to describe the risk of people having a disease (or outcome) in the prescence of an exposure would be:
a odds & odds ratio
odds ratio & 95% CI
odds ratio & relative risk
odds ratio & case fatality rate
| a odds & odds ratio | ||
| b | odds ratio & 95% CI | |
| c | odds ratio & relative risk | |
| d | odds ratio & case fatality rate |
Solution
Since Odds gives the ratio of the number of people having a disease to the number of people who are in presence of the exposure
and Odds ratio is The ratio of the odds of having the disease relative to the odds of remaining in exposure
So The two most logical epidemiological values to describe the risk of people having a disease in the prescence of an exposure is Odds and Odds ratio
