Question: graded assignment. Use the following investigation data to set-up the 2 X 2 table, calculate, and interpret the findings in the following matched case control

graded assignment.

Use the following investigation data to set-up the 2 X 2 table, calculate, and interpret the findings in the following matched case control study.

Talbot et al. (1980) performed a study of sudden unexpected death in women. Data using smoking history are shown in the following table.

Smoking History for Cases of Atherosclerotic Heart Disease (ASHD) Sudden Death And Controls (Current Smoker, 1+ Pack/Day) [Matched Pair], Allegheny County, 1980.

CONTROLS

Smoking 1+ pack/day Smoking <1 pack/day Totals

Smoking 1+ pack/day 2 (A) 36 (B) 38 (A+B)
Smoking <1 pack/day 8 (C) 34 (D) 42 (C+D)
Totals 10 (A+C) 70 (B+D) 80

Use this Table to do the following calculations and the interpretations.

1. Calculate the matched pairs odds ratio. Show the formula you selected, include your set up with numeric values, calculations, and clearly identify your answer.

2. Interpret the findings in one sentence.

3. Display the unmatched 2x2 table with all cell values and all margins labeled.

4. Calculate the exposure proportion among the cases. Show the formula, your set up with numeric values, calculations, and clearly identify your answer.

5. Calculate the exposure proportion among the controls. Show the formula, your set up with numeric values, calculations, and clearly identify your answer.

6. Calculate the unmatched exposure odds ratio. Show the formula, your set up with numeric values, calculations, and clearly identify the answer.

7.Interpret the estimatedrelative risk in one sentence.

8. Calculate the unmatched odds of cases exposed. Show the formula, your set up with numeric values, calculation, and clearly identify the answer.

9. Calculate the unmatched odds of controls exposed. Show your formula, your set up with numeric values, calculation, and clearly identify your answer.
