Question:
- In a study of sudden infant death syndrome [SIDS], the authors report that "7 of the 53 infants who had broncheo-pulmonary displasia [BPD] (13%) and two of the 65 control infants were victims of SIDS (p=.0392)", using the standard (uncorrected) chi-square test. Confirm this result.
- Give a 2-tailed Fisher's exact p-value for the above comparison. What is your conclusion using this test statistic?
- What is the RR of SIDS for an infant with BPD relative to a control infant? Give a 95% confidence interval for this RR. Verbally interpret this result.
- What is the OR of SIDS for an infant with BPD relative to a control infant? Give a 95% confidence interval for this OR. Verbally interpret this result.
- Compare the RR and OR derived in 3 & 4 above. Comment on this comparison.
