>Can anyone tell me what an 'Adjusted' odds ratio is please?

You will often see odds ratios estimated using logistic regression. If that
logistic regression model includes a covariate, in addition to the treatment
variable, then the resulting odds ratio for the treatment effect of that
model is said to be adjusted for the covariate. The adjusted odds ratio
represents the estimated ratio in the odds between the treatment and the
control group, holding the covariate constant between the groups.
