I am planning a study to assess the impact of a new intervention on the risk of diabetes compared to a standard treatment.Although Oral Glucose Tolerance Test (OGTT) results are continuous, they are often dichotomized for convenience.Could you please explain how to use odds ratios or relative risks to analyze these data?Furthermore, studies frequently assess survival rates using hazard ratios.I am curious about any relationship between odds ratios and hazard ratios.In biomedical research studies, it is not uncommon that outcome measurements are not continuous variables.Examples include the positive or negative result of a clinical test or the mortality status of a patient.To appropriately analyze data collected from such studies, outcome assessment methods tailored to the distributions of these outcomes have been developed.
