title: Large sample confidence intervals for regression standardized risks, risk ratios, and risk differences.
abstract: Several methods have been proposed for standardizing risks, risk ratios, and risk differences based on the results of logistic regression. These methods provide an alternative to direct standardization, a particularly useful approach when there are many covariates. In this paper, methods for calculating approximate confidence limits for these standardized measures are presented. A simple example, in which published data are used, illustrates the techniques and allows comparison with confidence limits calculated from the directly standardized risk ratio.
