Fetal Risks, Relative Risks, and Relatives' Risks
The American Journal of Bioethics, 2016Several factors related to fetal risk render it more or less acceptable in justifying constraints on the behavior of pregnant women. Risk is an unavoidable part of pregnancy and childbirth, one that women must balance against other vital personal and family interests.

Management Science, 1982
An individual's preference for risky alternatives is influenced by the strength of preference he feels for the consequences and his attitude toward risk taking. Conventional measures of risk attitude confound these two factors. In this paper we formally separate these factors and explore how this separation might significantly enhance our ...

Pediatrics, 1985
The article on injuries in a large, urban school district, provides valuable information regarding school accidents and injuries. Indeed the authors have carried out the most extensive analysis to date of the nature of school injuries and they have undertaken some interesting analyses in an attempt to understand the influence of a variety of school ...

Tissue Antigens, 1977
In the study of disease correlations with specific antigens, the current expression for “relative risks” is computationally convenient. However, a more exact expression has been devised which is also more easily interpretable as the relative probability of contracting a disease for individuals carrying a specific antigen as compared to the probability ...

On the Combination of Relative Risks
Biometrics, 1962The importance of the relative risk in comparison of 2 X 2 tables has long been recognized. Bartlett [1935] proposed both large and small sample tests for testing the hypothesis of the constancy of the relative risk between two tables and Norton [1945] extended the large sample test to the general case of several 2 X 2 tables. More recently, Cornfield [

Competency and Risk‐relativity
Bioethics, 2001In this paper I discuss the view that the appropriate concept of competence is a decision‐relative one: that a person may be competent to make one decision but not another. The argument that I present is that neither of the two competing theories supporting the decision‐relative approach, internalism and externalism, can provide a coherent explanation ...

Gastroenterology, 2012
Reply. We thank Dr Langholz for the relevant comment on our paper. We fully agree that it is important to base clinical guidelines on both relative and absolute risks. The absolute risk of colorectal cancer (CRC) among patients with ulcerative colitis (UC) in our study (Denmark, 1979‐ 2008) was 1.15% (95% confidence interval [CI], 0.97%‐ 1.34%) after ...

Nursing Standard, 1990
Coronary heart disease is a major challenge for preventive health care. Although there is profuse evidence linking several risk factors with an increased incidence of the disease, much of this evidence is inconclusive and sometimes contradictory. New evidence is constantly generated often to be refuted at a later date. Community nurses, therefore, need

Acta Ophthalmologica, 1984
A relative risk (RR) indicates how many times more frequent the disease is in individuals carrying the factor (HLA antigen) relative those who lack it. RR values are calculated by the formula RR=ad:bc where a and b are the numbers of patients carrying and lacking the factor (antigen), respectively, and c and d the corresponding numbers of controls ...
