  2. ‘CSI’ output.

  3. Exposed Cases are low birth weight infant deaths • Unexposed Cases are normal birth weight infant deaths • Exposed Non-cases are low birth weight infant survivors • Unexposed Non-cases are normal birth weight infant survivors • The “Risk” values are a measure of incidence • The “Risk difference” is the attributable risk (for exposure) • The “Risk Ratio” is the incidence in the exposed divided by the incidence in the unexposed. • The “Attr. Frac. Ex.” is the risk difference divided by the incidence in the exposed. • The “Attr. Frac. Pop.” is the proportion of the total risk attributed to the risk difference between the total and unexposed groups. “56% of infant deaths in the population are attributable to low birth weight.” • The confidence intervals identify the probability of the actual value falling within that calculated range. • The chi^2 test statistic is a test of significance for a contingency table. • The probability of the Chi^2 statistic is actually greater than 0, but is displayed as equaling zero. ‘CSI’ output analysis.

  5. ‘iri’ Command 2

  6. The incidence rate difference has a sign change (the C.I. bounds are swapped as well) • The incidence rate ratio is the reciprocal of what it was before. • The Prev. Frac. Ex. is the same absolute value as the AttFrac Ex, however it signifies an opposite effect (preventing cases rather than causing cases). • The Prev. Frac. Pop. Is the complement of the proportion where the numerator is the number of person-years not attributable to the exposure while the denominator is the total person-years ‘iri’ Command Differences

  7. Data represents men over the age of 65 = 1 or 0 = under the age of 65 • IRR = incidence relative risk, the risk of males dying when exposed to trigeminal neuralgia compared to females • M-H Weight: adjusted odds ratios for age (calculated by the exact method) • Crude IRR: total men incidence rate over total women incidence rate • M-H combined: weighted average of IRR across strata • Test of homogeneity (M-H): M-H =Mantel-Haenszel tests for homogeneity, looking for a difference across strata • Chi2(1) is the significance level, Pr>Chi2=0.8992 is the calculated value • Death in men with trigeminal neuralgia is not significantly different across age strata ‘ir’ Command & Annotations

  8. 95% confidence interval: an estimated range of values in which the actual value will fall 95% of the time • 90% confidence interval: an estimated range of values in which the actual value will fall 90% of the time ‘Confidence Intervals’

  9. THE END!
