Reading your result
Compare odds of two binary event probabilities. The displayed quantity is dimensionless. A negative value, when the formula permits one, describes the direction of the difference—not a positive gain.
Limitations
Descriptive probability ratio; does not establish causality or clinical risk. Numeric results are rounded for display; the calculation does not establish that your chosen inputs represent a realistic or permitted scenario.
