  1. Considering 3rd Factor(S) in Causality 3rd variable(s) Exposure 1stvar Outcome 2ndvar D. Khalili

  2. Kinds of RELATIONSHIPS OF3rd VARIABLE(S) IN RESEARCH • CONFOUNDING • MEDIATION • COLLINEARITY • EFFECT MODIFICATION (INTERACTION OR MODERATION) D. Khalili

  3. A confusion of effect D. Khalili

  4. Some points in: D. Khalili

  5. Some points in: Effect Modification • It’s not a bias. • Global analysis / Crude OR ismeaningless. • Results should beanalysed in each stratum separately. D. Khalili

  6. a a1 a2 b b1 b2 OR1 c c2 c1 d d2 d1 ≠ levels ofthird factor OR2 Strategy to take into accounta third factor in data analysis 1) Crude analysis • 2) Stratified analysis Crude OR D. Khalili

  7. Strategy to take into accounta third factor in data analysis • 3) Compare stratifiedORs: 4) Where is the crude OR? D. Khalili

  8. OR1 Crude OR OR2 Strategy to take into accounta third factor in data analysis • 5a) • OR1 ≠ OR2 Third factor = Effect modifier If it is clinically important Don’tcompute an adjusted OR Report Stratum-specificresults of the association betweenexposure and outcome D. Khalili

  9. OR1 OR2 Crude OR Strategy to take into accounta third factor in data analysis 5b) OR1  OR2 Computation of adjusted OR

  10. OR1 Crude OR OR2 Strategy to take into accounta third factor in data analysis • 5c) • OR1  OR2 ORadORCrude Third factor = no role Use crude OR to measure the association between exposure and outcome D. Khalili

  12. How to take into accountseveral potential third factors Multivariable analysis … The most practical one: Logistic Regression D. Khalili

  13. Should we consider any interaction? D. Khalili
