The results are robust across samples: the odds of selecting a non-white racial identity, that is, self-identifying as either other-race or black, decrease with education and age, increase by 14-21% for males, increase considerably for more recent immigrants, and increase for persons of North African, sub-Saharan, East Asian, and Central Asian ancestral origin relative to West Asians.
When P. disiens was present in the vaginal samples, the odds ratio for a diagnosis of gingivitis was 3.6 (95%CI: 1.8 7.5, p < 0.001).
Thus, when P. bivia was present in the vaginal samples, the odds ratio for gingivitis was 3.9 (95% CI 1.5 5.7, p < 0.001).
In a sample of 30 resected NSCLC tumor samples the odds of having TP53 mutations in a patient smoking 20 cigarettes per day for 30 years were 5.3 when compared with a patient with LCINS.
Since such controls could go on to become a case (incidence density sampling) the odds ratios estimate the rate ratios that would be obtained from a cohort analysis [ 11].
Ignoring vaccination status and comparing all HBsAg-positive samples vs matched HBsAg-negative samples, the odds ratio for having ALT above the upper limit of normal (ULN) was 7.1 (26/218 vs 10/472, p < 0.0001), and the odds ratio for having chronic active hepatitis, as indicated by ALT > 2xULN, was 34.1 (9/218 vs 1/472).
To determine if a decreased degradation of NETs was associated with these variables that occurred either two months before sampling, at sampling, or two months after sampling, the odds ratios (OR) for the different parameters were calculated for sera with a decreased ability to degrade NETs.
The sample size was calculated with Sample Power, the odds risks with an R-package, and the Forest plots with Medcalc.
