MSTS RiskFrom: Wayne Persutte (wpersutte@reprogen.com)Tue Feb 13 12:31:09 2001
Friends, Can anyone explain to me why a Maternal serum triple screen that provides a odds ratio of 1:1 is actually a risk of 50%? As was explained by a geneticist, a 1:1 risk means that for every one affected child there is one normal child. I find this counter-intuitive and think that this should represent a 100% risk. Does anyone else find this odd? . . . or have I been misinformed? -Wayne

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
