Calculate the odds ratio associated with efm exposure

Reference no: EM13953055

Consider the data taken from a study that attempts to determine whether the use of electronic fetal monitoring (EFM) during labor affects the frequency of cesarean section deliveries. Of the 5824 infants included in the study, 2850 were electronically monitored and 2974 were not. The outcomes are listed in Table E1.6.

TABLE E1.6
		EFM Exposure
Cesarean Delivery	Yes		No	Total
Yes	358		229	587
No	2492		2745	5237
Total	2850		2974	5824

(a) Compute and compare the proportions of cesarean delivery for the two exposure groups. What would be your conclusion?

(b) Calculate the odds ratio associated with EFM exposure. Does this result support your conclusion in part (a)?
