Answer:
Odds ratio for exposure among cases versus controls
=(a*d)/(b*c)
=(67*152)/(23*108)
=4.09984
This indicates that the past exposure to OC cases were about 4 times more likely to be DVT than the controls.

Question 28 0 out of 2 po n a case-control study of osteoporosis, 150 women were enrolled as cases and an equal number as controls. Among the cases 50 reported low calcium intake, while only 20 of the controls reported low calcium intake. Calculate the odds ratio in the association between low calcium intake and developing osteoporosis in this population.
Read the following research study and answer the following questions: A case control study was conducted to evaluate the relationship between direct sun exposure and skin cancer. 150 Cases and 100 controls were recruited from Al Wehda hospital. A data collecting method was distributed among both controls and cases. Analysis of data revealed that 70 of cases were exposed to active smoking while only 40 of controls were exposed. Construct a 2 by 2 table to demonstrate the two dichotomous...

The Family Planning Association in Oxford, England studied 17,000 women who had been enrolled in a cohort study between 1968 and 1974 to look at the association between oral contraceptive (OC) use and venous thromboembolism (Vessey et al., 1989). For current users of OCs, person-time was counted from the time a woman began using OCs. For never or past users, it was counted from the time a woman enrolled in the study. Woman-years were counted until venous thromboembolism occurred, the...
Question 3: A case control study was conducted in Alabama to find out whether exposure to antibiotic during pregnancy resulted in risk of child developing eosinophilic esophagitis. Investigators selected 300 cases of women who has child with eosinophilic esophagitis and 600 controls. The study found that 110 case mothers and 60 control mothers reported using antibiotics during pregnancy. a. Set up a two-by-two table for this data. (2pts) b. Calculate the odds ratio. (3pts) C. State in words your interpretation...

A study was conducted to evaluate the relationship between artificial sweeteners and bladder cancer. 3,000 cases and 3,000 controls were enrolled in the study. Among the cases, 1293 had used artificial sweeteners in the past, while 1707 had never used artificial sweeteners. Of the controls, 855 had used sweeteners and 2145 had not.a. What is the exposure and what is the disease?b. Set up the two by two table for these data with labels for exposures and disease status.c. Which...
A study of the association of breast cancer with duration of oral contraceptive (OC) use compared a group of women with breast cancer with a group of women of similar ages who were admitted to the same hospital for non-cancer diseases. From interviewing the subjects it could be determined who had used OC in the past and for how long. The following data were gathered: Calculate the appropriate measure of association for this case control study and the 95% CI...
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...

Choose from the following: selection bias, information bias, confounding, random error, limited generalizability or no error. Choose only one per example. A case-control study was conducted to determine whether lower socioeconomic status was associated with a higher risk of cervical cancer. The cases consisted of 250 women with cervical cancer who had been referred to Massachusetts General Hospital for treatment for cervical cancer. They were referred from...
