• 2 Steps:
• Step 1: Calculation of SE of LnRR
• Step 2: Calculation of 95% CI
Ca Liver
+ - Total
HB+ 21 (a) 479 (b) 500
(a+b)
n (ad – bc)2
2 = (a + b) (c + d) (a + c) (b + d)
Calculated values:
• IC among HB +ve: 4.2
• IC among HB –ve: 2.8
• Relative risk (RR): 1.5
• 95% CI of RR: 0.77 to 2.92
• Chi. Sq calculated value is 1.45 [< 3.84 (tabulated value)]
• p-value: >0.05
Conclusion
Smoking
• Population AR or PAR
• Indicates what proportion of the disease incidence (e.g., Ca liver) in
the total population could be prevented, if it is possible to eliminate
exposure in the total population
