Abstract

Categorical outcomes are most often reported in terms of relative risk or odds ratios. Interpreting what these metrics mean can be difficult for clinicians, and researchers often make mistakes in published papers. Key points to understand include the following: odds ratios cannot be interpreted in terms of likelihood of an outcome, in fact they have no intuitive meaning for a patient; relative risks and odds ratios are heavily influenced by how common or rare the outcome is; and an odds ratio will always be larger than a risk ratio from the same data.

解读赔率与风险，理解两者之间的区别：将证据与实践联系起来。

分类结果通常以相对风险比或优势比报告。对于临床医生来说，解释这些指标的含义可能很困难，研究人员经常在发表的论文中犯错误。需要理解的要点包括：优势比不能用结果的可能性来解释，事实上，它们对患者没有直观的意义；相对风险和优势比在很大程度上受结果的常见或罕见程度的影响；从相同的数据来看，优势比总是大于风险比。[J] .体育学报，2015;55(4):1-2。2025年2月26日。doi: 10.2519 / jospt.2025.0701。
