6. A case-control study of 1700 participants looked at the association between Tamoxifen and uterine cancer. The study included 689 cases. There were 139 cases and 58 controls using Tamoxifen. Fill in the 2x2 table. Calculate and interpret the odds ratio.
Ans
Calculation is shown in image as follows
689 cases - 139 ( yes ) cases = 550 ( no ) cases
1700 total - 689 cases - 59 ( yes) controls = 953 ( no ) controls

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.
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...

An investigator conducted a case-control study in 1000 participants (500 cases and 500 controls) to examine the association between childhood head trauma (exposure) and Parkinson’s disease(outcome). Information on head trauma was self-reported by study participants. Cases were able to correctly report exposure to head trauma 96% of the time, while controls correctly reported exposure to head trauma 80% of the time. Cases and controls correctly reported no exposure to head trauma 96% and 98% of the time, respectively. The truth(which...
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 study was conducted in young adults to look at the association between taking a driver's education class and the risk of being in an automobile accident. 450 participants were included in the study, 150 cases who had been in an accident and 300 controls who had not. Of the 150 cases, 70 reported having taken a driver's education class. Of the 300 controls, 170 reported having taken a driver's education class. Exposed (taking class) Cases (accident) Control (no accident)...
