I(E) will represent the risk of developing the outcome associated with the exposure group.
how would you write out the equation: |
I(E) = a/ (a + b)
|
|
|
I(U) will represent the risk of developing the outcome associated with the un-exposed group.
|
I(U) = c / (c + d)

prospective studies are incident studies.
incidents are (new/existing) so our starting population (can/cannot) have the disease |
new
cannot |
