Odds Ratio - Adjusted OR

John-3
Hi,

I would appreciate any help from the experienced here.

I have alcohol drinking as the dependent variable. I need OR for Age, Sex,
cigarette smoking, depression as independent variables.

All are categorical variables as they have been coded

When I used Alcohol vs each of the above variables, my OddsRatios  were
Age group 1 1.02
Age group 2 0.97
Age group 3 - reference group in this category
______________
Sex (Male/ Female): 0.85
_____________
Cigarette (Yes/No): 3.54
_____________
depression (Yes/No) 1.74

I used cross tabs, checked risk in the crosstab statistics - I got the
above odds ratios thus.

______________________________________________________
I wanted adjusted ratios for the same variable in the same order. I used

click Analyze --> click Regression -> click Binary logistic -> enter in
Dependent variable ( alcohol) -> enter in covariates  (age, sex, cigarette
smoking, depression as independent variables) -> click categorical ->
enter in categorical covariates age, sex, cigarette smoking, depression ->
last as reference category -> click continue -> In options check CI for exp
(B) 95% -> check display at each step -> In probability for stepwise entry
(0.05) , removal (0.10) (default values) -> in classification cutoff 0.5
(default value this one also) -> Maximum Iterations (20) (default value) -
> check include constant in model -> click on continue -> click on ok ->
from output, I am choosing Exp(B) as adjusted odds ratio

From the output the adjusted odds ratios were (I am giving the numbers
below Exp(B) in the output tables)
Age group1 1.12
Age group2 1.06
Sex 1.08
cigarette smoking 0.73
depression 0.71

My questions for the group:

1, Am I doing the correct procedure  in SPSS by using cross tabs (risk)
for odds ratios and logistic regression (for adjusted odds ratios)? All I
need are the odds ratios and the adjusted odds ratios.
2, Obviously the main problem is the numbers for cigarette smoking and
depression are so different for odds ratio and adjusted odds ratio. Can
the adjusted ratio be so much different than odds ratio?

I am using the same dataset. The sample size of the total data set is big
(n=5500) and the n for each of the answers of each variables are big
enough. There is no problem with the sample sizes for each variable. I am
using point and click buttons in SPSS 19 version, unfortunately I don't
know coding to use syntax for output.

I will appreciate any help. Thanks,

John

Re: Odds Ratio - Adjusted OR

For logistic regression, it is conventional to code the dependent variable 1=Yes and 0=No.  For CROSSTABS, it usually works out better (meaning you get the odds ratio you want) to have 1=Yes and 2=No.  So it may be that you're getting loused up by that difference.  Why not use LOGISTIC REGRESSION to get both your crude and adjusted odds ratios?  To get the crude (unadjusted) OR for a variable, enter it as the only explanatory variable.

Thanks, Bruce and Ryan.

Bruce, I have a question for you please. Thanks for mentioning me to code
1 and 0 for the dependent variable. I coded 1 and 2.

How about for the independent variables? Should I use 0 for independent
variables also?

My codes at the time of my 1st post are:
Age group 1 = 1
Age group 2 = 2
Age group 3 = 3
Age group 4 = 4
Sex Male = 1
Female = 2
Cigarette Yes = 1
No = 2
depression yes = 1, no =2

I did not code 0 for any variable, if you please clarify that I will code
that and report the results back to the list serv.

Thanks in advance to you.

Re: Odds Ratio - Adjusted OR

Ryan
You are specifying via LOGISTIC REGRESSION that all of your predictors are categorical, from what I recall. You just need to know which category for each predictor is being treated as the reference. I believe LOGISTIC REGRESSION gives the option of specifying either the first or last category as the reference.

For logistic regression, it is conventional to code the dependent variable
1=Yes and 0=No.  For CROSSTABS, it usually works out better (meaning you
get
the odds ratio you want) to have 1=Yes and 2=No.  So it may be that you're
getting loused up by that difference.  Why not use LOGISTIC REGRESSION to
get both your crude and adjusted odds ratios?  To get the crude
(unadjusted)
OR for a variable, enter it as the only explanatory variable.

Hi,

I would appreciate any help from the experienced here.

I have alcohol drinking as the dependent variable. I need OR for Age,
Sex,
cigarette smoking, depression as independent variables.

All are categorical variables as they have been coded

When I used Alcohol vs each of the above variables, my OddsRatios  were
Age group 1 1.02
Age group 2 0.97
Age group 3 - reference group in this category
______________
Sex (Male/ Female): 0.85
_____________
Cigarette (Yes/No): 3.54
_____________
depression (Yes/No) 1.74

I used cross tabs, checked risk in the crosstab statistics - I got the
above odds ratios thus.

______________________________________________________
I wanted adjusted ratios for the same variable in the same order. I used

click Analyze --> click Regression -> click Binary logistic -> enter in
Dependent variable ( alcohol) -> enter in covariates  (age, sex,
cigarette
smoking, depression as independent variables) -> click categorical ->
enter in categorical covariates age, sex, cigarette smoking,
depression ->
last as reference category -> click continue -> In options check CI for
exp
(B) 95% -> check display at each step -> In probability for stepwise
entry
(0.05) , removal (0.10) (default values) -> in classification cutoff 0.5
(default value this one also) -> Maximum Iterations (20) (default
value) -
check include constant in model -> click on continue -> click on ok ->
from output, I am choosing Exp(B) as adjusted odds ratio

From the output the adjusted odds ratios were (I am giving the numbers
below Exp(B) in the output tables)
Age group1 1.12
Age group2 1.06
Sex 1.08
cigarette smoking 0.73
depression 0.71

My questions for the group:

1, Am I doing the correct procedure  in SPSS by using cross tabs (risk)
for odds ratios and logistic regression (for adjusted odds ratios)? All
I
need are the odds ratios and the adjusted odds ratios.
2, Obviously the main problem is the numbers for cigarette smoking and
depression are so different for odds ratio and adjusted odds ratio. Can
the adjusted ratio be so much different than odds ratio?

I am using the same dataset. The sample size of the total data set is
big
(n=5500) and the n for each of the answers of each variables are big
enough. There is no problem with the sample sizes for each variable. I
am
using point and click buttons in SPSS 19 version, unfortunately I don't
know coding to use syntax for output.

I will appreciate any help. Thanks,

John

Thanks, Bruce and Ryan.

Bruce, I have a question for you please. Thanks for mentioning me to code
1 and 0 for the dependent variable. I coded 1 and 2.

How about for the independent variables? Should I use 0 for independent
variables also?

My codes are:
Age group 1 = 1
Age group 2 = 2
Age group 3 = 3
Age group 4 = 4
Sex Male = 1
Female = 2
Cigarette Yes = 1
No = 2
depression yes = 1, no =2

"My understanding is that the cross tabs risk ratio only works for 2 x 2"

Right. I selected seperate 2x2 tables for each IV to calculate odds ratio.
SPSS gives odds ratio in the cross  tabs, I don't think that is risk ratio
given by cross tabs in SPSS.

In my 1st post, I have detailed all the steps that I completed. Yes, I
selected the last category as the reference.

Thanks though.

Re: Odds Ratio - Adjusted OR

In reply to this post by John-3
1. I followed Bruce's suggestion and changed the dependent variable
(Alcohol use) 's codes to 0 (=Yes) and 1 (=No) and changed the codes of
all IV so that 0 is present as the first category in each variable.

I got the same results as before. No change.


2. I could do OR for each one of the IVs from logistic regression also.
But, that's not the problem here. When I did ORs from cross tabs, I
verified it using hand calculator - the ORs from cross tabs were correct.
In short, the OR numbers are correct.

What I am trying to achieve is correct AORs. The obvious problem is - I
haven't seen such a big difference between OR and AOR ever. I am not
fairly experienced, but experienced statisticians and SPSS masters here
know better than me. That's why I approached you all.


Group, Please suggest. In short, I am presenting my problem again: Is a
difference of 2.8 (OR = 3.54, AOR = .74) for cigarette smoking and 0.8 (OR
= 1.74, AOR = 0.83) possible? Have you seen such big differences before?

Re: Odds Ratio - Adjusted OR

khaaver
Regardless of the size of the OR, we have seen many IV pointed out by
the 2X2 losing their significance when put into LR in multivariate
analysis. This is why, those statisticians working in medicine or
medical research would never recommend anything to be quoted as a
"finding" without performing multivariate analysis, which makes sense.

Secondly, you should use the results in accordance with the scientific
sense of the problem at hand. Here it seems the two IV's are in favour
of "No Alcohol" use in LR. If you are confident that your data is
clean, the procedure your performed is correct, underlysing
assumptions for the tests are met, report the results with the
scientific sense.

Re: Odds Ratio - Adjusted OR

Rich Ulrich
In reply to this post by John-3
The reason people are telling you to get your OR from the logistic
is so that you can demonstrate to yourself that you are defining
the groups backwards in the LR, compared to the crosstabs and
your hand calculation.  Also, you want to make sure that you
are getting the OR as one group relative to the other, and not
as relative to their *mean* (which I think is a possibility).

You could also try running the LR with the dichotomies defined
as Scaled, just to see what difference it makes.  You are still
trying to figure out how to use and read the program - don't
waste the opportunity.

To see better what is going on, you really ought to generate
some of the 2-way tables between your predictors, and some
3-way tables including the outcome.  Predictors will *not* 
confound each other if they are uncorrelated.  That works in LR
about the same as it does in ordinary least squares.

I agree that the 3.74 OR should not disappear, nor should it be
reversed.  Smoking with drinking is so conventional that I would
have high suspicions about the data if it did not appear.  As it is, I
do wonder about the nature of the sample or the exact nature of
the criterion when you fail to see higher drinking for Males.

The 3-way tables should illuminate something about how much
reduction of effects you should expect.  You can also run your LR
with subsets of your predictors in order to see which ones are
confounding each other the most.

Re: Odds Ratio - Adjusted OR

In reply to this post by John-3
Khanwer, For some reason when I do the ORs for each of the IV using
logistic regression, the results are inverse. For example, for Alcohol vs
cigarette smoking (without using any other variable), I am getting 0.38 as
opposed to the 2.74 OR obtained by conventional 2x2 cross tabs. In the
cross tabs, I have dependent variable in columns and independent in the
rows. I am doing exactly what I am describing here. I am describing the
most basic thing in statistics so that you can be confident that I am not
committing basic errors. I don't think I am doing anything wrong. I
explained the logistic regression procedure step by step in detail in my
1st post of the thread. It is definitely not confounding in this case. The
output given by SPSS is wrong via logistic regression. I need to verify
with SAS and find out why the SPSS output is wrong.

I changed the reference categories to first now as opposed to the
reference categories being last. The OR (when I use individual DV vs IV)
AOR (when I use DV vs multiple IVs) outputs come closer to the "desired"
results. It seems to be ExpB is the inverse of the OR and AOR. No?

SPSS masters, Clarify this doubt to me. In SPSS, using logistic regression
does ExpB = AOR? I think at this point, my question is simple. I need to
know what ExpB is!

Did anyone have the same problem with SPSS?

You may say my coding is wrong (inverse) as in yes for no and no for yes.
If coding is wrong, then the results should be consistent when I use cross
tabs also. Nah!

Re: Odds Ratio - Adjusted OR

Perhaps this example (I just made up) will help the OP...

Directions for the OP: Open SPSS. Go to the drop down menu and click File-->New-->Syntax. Copy the code below my name in this post and paste it into the new syntax file. Then go back to the drop down menu and click Run-->All. 

You will see that the odds ratio produced by CROSSTABS equals the "Exp(B)" for "group(1)" value produced by the LOGISTIC REGRESSION procedure. 

Note that the odds ratio of interest is calculated by: 

odds(cancer|smoker) / odds(no cancer|non-smoker)

where

odds(cancer|smoker) = 

pr(cancer|smoker) / pr(no cancer|smoker)

and
 
odds(cancer|non-smoker) = 

pr(cancer|non-smoker) / pr(no cancer|non-smoker)

Re: Odds Ratio - Adjusted OR

Small correction to a statement I made. The "odds ratio of interest" is defined as:

"odds(cancer|smoker) / odds(cancer|non-smoker)"

Everything else is correct. Hope this clears things up for the OP.
