Odds ratio

A measure of association between an exposure and an outcome. It represents the odds (or probability) that an outcome will occur given a particular exposure, compared to the odds of the outcome occurring in the absence of that exposure. The numerator is the proportion of the event of interest, and the denominator is the proportion of the non-event (23).
