Hello Guys,
I am trying to do a meta-analysis
some studies are mentioning odds ratio with confidence interval
while others are converting relative risk with confidence interval
So I am trying to convert the odds ratio and its confidence interval to RR and CI for the relative risk
I have used the medcalc to convert the OR to RR
So I enter the OR and the percentage of bad outcome in the non-exposed group and it get claculated
https://clincalc.com/Stats/ConvertOR.aspx
Howver, I am not very sure about how to convert the confidence interval. Shall I use the same method.?
So shall I enter the value of the lower confidence interval instead of the odds ratio, and then enter the percentage of bad outcome in the non-exposed group to get it calculated?
Or is this method wrong?
So how then can I use the confidence interval?
