Odds Reduction

Odds Reduction

 

The odds reduction expresses, for odds, what relative risk reduction expresses for risks. Just as the relative risk reduction is (1 – relative risk) the odds reduction is (1 – relative odds) (the relative odds and odds ratio being synonymous). Thus, if a treatment results in an odds ratio of 0.6 for a particular outcome, the treatment reduces the odds for that outcome by 0.4.
