This study introduces a modified Poisson regression method for directly estimating relative risk in medical research. The approach proves reliable for calculating relative risk, even with small sample sizes.

Area of Science:

  • Epidemiology
  • Medical Statistics

Background:

  • Relative risk is a key parameter in epidemiologic and medical research.
  • Current methods may not always directly estimate relative risk efficiently.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To propose and validate a modified Poisson regression approach for direct relative risk estimation.
  • To provide a reliable statistical method for analyzing effect measures in health studies.

Main Methods:

  • Utilizing Poisson regression with robust error variance.
  • Employing a 2-by-2 table for theoretical justification.
  • Conducting a simulation study to assess reliability.

Main Results:

  • The modified Poisson regression approach directly estimates relative risk.

  • The method demonstrated high reliability in simulation studies, even with sample sizes as low as 100.
  • The approach was successfully illustrated using two real-world datasets.

    • Conclusions:

    • The modified Poisson regression with robust error variance is a valid and reliable method for estimating relative risk.
    • This approach offers a practical tool for epidemiologic and medical researchers.
    • The method is effective across various sample sizes, including small ones.
