This conversion is aimed at facilitating use of the OR in the reporting of clinical trials and meta-analyses because the OR is the “portable” effect measure, while the RR varies with baseline risk. {p_end} {title:Modules required} {pstd} Users need to install {stata ssc install indeplist:indeplist} {title:Options} {pstd} {cmd:r0(#)} specifies a baseline risk other than the one from the dataset used in the logit/logistic regression. With {cmd: logittoriski} (immediate form) r0 must be specified, if not, then r0 = 0.5 is applied. The value should range from 0.01 to 0.99. {pstd} {cmd:cat(#)} indicates the category of interest for a categorical exposure variable. If not specified, the first category is returned. This does not apply to {cmd: logittoriski} (immediate form). {title:Saved results} {synoptset 25 tabbed}{...} {p2col 5 20 24 2: Scalars}{p_end} {synopt:{cmd:r(r0)}} baseline risk{p_end} {synopt:{cmd:r(r1)}} post-exposure risk based on the OR and r0 {p_end} {synopt:{cmd:r(rr)}} risk ratio at the specified r0 for the variable of interest {p_end} {synopt:{cmd:r(rr_lci)}} lower confidence interval of the risk ratio {p_end} {synopt:{cmd:r(rr_uci)}} upper confidence interval of the risk ratio {p_end} {synopt:{cmd:r(rd)}} risk difference at the specified r0 for the variable of interest {p_end} {synopt:{cmd:r(rd_lci)}} lower confidence interval of the risk difference {p_end} {synopt:{cmd:r(rd_uci)}} upper confidence interval of the risk difference {p_end} {synopt:{cmd:r(nnt)}} number needed to treat at the specified r0 for the variable of interest {p_end} {synopt:{cmd:r(nnt_lci)}} lower confidence interval of the number neeed to treat {p_end} {synopt:{cmd:r(nnt_uci)}} upper confidence interval of the number neeed to treat {p_end} {title:Examples} {pstd} {bf: Example 1:} {p_end} {pstd} The data for the example is taken from Greenland et al.
