Abstract: logittorisk computes the exposure/intervention group risk (r1) and a table of differences and ratios of risk from the baseline odds (constant) and odds ratio (from the first explanatory variable) obtained from a prior logistic regression. This conversion is aimed at facilitating use of the OR in the reporting of clinical trials and meta-analyses because the OR is the “portable” effect measure, while the RR varies with baseline risk.
