Abstract

Basic aim of an epidemiological study is to quantify the association between the exposure and the outcome of interest. To achieve this, the incidence of disease in a group of individuals exposed to the putative risk factors must be compared with the incidence in a group of persons not exposed. This comparison can be summarized by calculating either the ratio of the measures of disease occurrence for the two groups, which indicates the likelihood of developing the disease in the exposed individuals relative to those unexposed, or the difference between the two, which provides information about the absolute effect of the exposure in those exposed compared with those unexposed. Some terms about relative risk were explained and examine with samples in this article.

Özet

Epidemiyolojik çalışmaların temel amacı ilgilenilen sonuç ile sonuca etki ettiği düşünülen risk faktörlerine maruziyet arasındaki ilişkinin ölçümüdür. Bunu elde etmek için varsayılan risk faktörlerine maruz kalan bireylerin insidans hızları maruz kalmayan grubun insidans hızları ile karşılaştırılmalıdır. Bu karşılaştırma maruz kalan bireylerde maruz kalmayanlara göre hastalığın gelişme olasılığını ifade eden, her iki grup için hastalığın görülme miktarının oranı ile hesaplanabilir. Ayrıca maruz kalan bireyler ile maruz kalmayan bireylerin karşılaştırılmasında maruziyetin mutlak etkisi hakkında bilgi veren hastalığın gelişme olasılıklarının farkının hesaplanmasıyla özetlenebilir. Bu makalede risk ile ilgili kavramlar örnekler ile açıklanmaya çalışılmıştır.
