Abstract:Subgroup analysis is routinely used in randomized controlled trials to examine whether treatment effects are homogeneous across patient subgroups or differ because of treatment-effect heterogeneity. In this paper, we investigate the properties of the odds ratio and the relative response in subgroup analyses with binary outcomes, extending previous work with new theoretical insights and methodological developments. We establish several new theorems that characterize how the odds ratio for the overall population changes in both magnitude and direction when two subgroups are combined. These results further confirm that the odds ratio is inappropriate as an efficacy measure in this subgroup setting, whereas the relative response is appropriate. We also present the formal relationship between the odds ratio and the relative response, and clarify their differences in terms of the logic-respecting property, that is, whether the overall efficacy lies between the subgroup efficacies, and the dilution property, that is, whether mixing subgroups moves the overall odds ratio toward 1. Although the odds ratio is generally not logic-respecting, it may behave approximately like a logic-respecting efficacy measure under certain conditions. To illustrate our findings, we present an illustrative example based on clinical trial data and discuss its implications for subgroup analysis in randomized controlled trials.
