***cross-posted***
Hello, again. This is a separate post from the 5 and 20 calculators posting.
Here's a few more calculators to add to my February summary on EBM calculators:
MedCalc has a calculator called: Confidence Interval of a Difference Between Proportions; the Example for this application is Calculations of Absolute Risk Reduction, etc.. From their homepage: http://medcalc3000.com/
if you do a search on their hompage with the terms "confidence interval" (without quotes) this calculator appears, but it is grayed out, so I am assuming that you must purchase.
Maybe you have Stat!Ref, like we do, where MedCalc3000 is part of our subscription:
http://online.statref.com/MedCalc3000.aspx?SessionId=3FE530ISMTDZMVMJ
Came across this site a while back and I've used it often...it seems to calculate pretty much everything possible from a 2x2 table with the CI that you specify. http://members.aol.com/johnp71/ctab2x2.html
http://faculty.vassar.edu/lowry/clin1.html Carefully note that the Absent/Present labels are listed in a different order than in many 2 by 2 tables.
And for all the tables, note whether you're expected to plug in decimals or percentages.
Please feel free to pass this along.
Take care,
Tanya

Hello, everyone. As you can tell, this is my summary catch-up day. Here's a list of the suggested EBM calculators. Thank you again, everyone, for helping me. You all are *great*! :)
BTW, when plugging in the data, pay attention to whether the calculator is asking for the number or the percent.
http://www.cebm.utoronto.ca/practise/ca/statscal/ (has the most EBM calculators, including the RR)

Please feel free to forward this email.
P.S. I may have an answer to my December post on looking for "Online calculator for 5 & 20 followup rule & sensitivity analysis"--I will post additional information by next week.
Take care,
Tanya
