An S-Plus function to calculate relative risks and adjusted means for regression models using natural splines
We provide for generalized linear regression models that use natural cubic splines to model predictors an S-Plus function to calculate relative risks (RR), log relative risk (logRR), mean percent change (MPC) for continuous covariates modeled using a logarithmic link as well as adjusted means differences (MD) for the identity link. The function makes explicit use of the natural spline basis fun...
متن کاملAttributable and unattributable risks and fractions and other scenario comparisons
Scenarios can be defined as alternative versions of the same dataset, with the same variables but different observations and/or values. Applied scientists frequently want to predict how much good an intervention will do, by comparing outcomes from the same model betwen different scenarios. Alternatively, they may want to compare outcomes between different models applied to the same scenario, as...
متن کاملUsing Surveys to Calculate Disability-Adjusted Life-Years
mapping a certain disease into a system of disabling attributes allows researchers to compare diseases within a common framework. to quantify the total burden of morbidity (e.g., morbidity attributable to alcohol use), so-called disability weights (DWs) must be generated. general-population surveys can be used to derive DWs from health valuation tasks. this article describes the application of ...
متن کاملAttributable fractions
Attributable fraction (AF) is an important concept in clinical and epidemiological studies. The concept has mainly been discussed in relation to case–control studies, cross-sectional studies, and follow-up studies of fixed length. Here, we propose and discuss several ways of defining and estimating AFs with right-censored survival data, and thus with varying lengths of follow-up. In particular,...
متن کاملUsing SAS® Procedures FREQ, GENMOD, LOGISTIC, and PHREG to Estimate Adjusted Relative Risks – A Case Study
We present nine methods to compute an adjusted relative risk (RR). These methods evolved over the past 25 years (1985–2010) via SAS/STAT® procedures: FREQ, GENMOD, LOGISTIC, and PHREG. We also compare the strengths and limitations of these methods, using an observational cohort study for illustration. INTRODUCTION The relative risk (RR) is a common measure of the effect of treatment or exposure...
