Hi,
I am doing a systematic review and I am comparing ORs. For most of the studies, I can only extract prevalence, calculate numbers to insert in a 2x2 table and then calculate an OR.
There is one study per observation: cases have an aaa (abdominal aortic aneurysm), exposure is dm (diabetes)
Does anyone know how to do that in a loop, so I do not have to calculate all by hand?
I need to save the computed ORs along with CI (my guess is return list, gen var=r(or) - but then the variable is for all the observations and not just the exact study?)
Can anyone please help me? I know, I can do it by hand, but I would prefer programming my way out of it as to making it reproducible
Let me know if you need further information or clarification.
Thank you & Happy Holidays,
Kind regards,
Katrine
