- 3 Here We Will Adjust For Confounding Using Stratification On The Confounder Calculate The Stratum Specific Estimates 1 (49.61 KiB) Viewed 61 times
3. Here we will adjust for confounding using stratification on the confounder. Calculate the stratum specific estimates among smokers and nonsmokers from the tables below. Smokers Case (MI+, D+) Control (MI-, D-) Diabetes + (E+) 100 15 Diabetes -(E-) 500 155 Non-smokers Case (MI+, D+) Control (MI-, D-) Diabetes + (E+) 22 16 Diabetes -(E-) 990 1426 4. Is smoking a confounder of the effect of diabetes on the incidence of MI? Is this a good way to check for confounding when we are interested in causal associations? Why/why not? 5. How would you report your results for the association between diabetes and MI, taking smoking into account? How would you interpret this association?
