The estimation of a confidence interval for attributable risk from the logistic model based on data from case-control studies is a problem for which an accepted solution is lacking. Two methods, one based on the delta method and one bootstrap on the population base, have been described but their acc

Kaufman et al. compute the 'excess risk' of a disease in the presence of an exposure as the product of the incidence rate of the disease in the source population, the complement of the aetiologic fraction and the relative risk minus one.
