The crude odds ratio is the unadjusted odds ratio. ORs may be adjusted
for confounding factors using either stratification methods (Mantel
Haenszel ORs) or logistic regression. The calculation from a 2 x 2 table
(ad/bd) is the ML estimate of the crude OR and should be identical to the
OR from a logistic model with a single dichotomous IV. The Mantel
Haenszel methods are available in Stata also (see the epitab section of
the reference).
