packages are
supported.
new function called descrTable
has been implemented
to build descriptive tables in a single step.
export2md
to export descriptive tables to R-markdown
documents has been improved and now supports stratified tables for
HTML.
new funciton called strataTable
has been implemented
to build descriptive tables by stratas (values or levels of a
variable).
Date variables are treated as continuous-non normal, performing medians, quartiles and non-parametric tests, but now are printed dates.
New argument var.equal
added in
compareGroups
and descrTable
. This allows to
consider different variances when comparing means between more than two
groups.
The compareGroups
package (Subirana, Sanz, and Vila 2014) allows users to
create tables displaying results of univariate analyses, stratified or
not by categorical variable groupings.
Tables can easily be exported to CSV, LaTeX, HTML, PDF, Word or Excel, or inserted in R-markdown files to generate reports automatically.
This package can be used from the R
prompt or from a user-friendly graphical user interface for non-R
familiarized users.
The compareGroups
package is available
on CRAN repository. To load the package using the
R
prompt, enter:
library(compareGroups)
This document provides an overview of the usage of the
compareGroups
package with a real
examples, both using the R syntax and the graphical user interface. It
is structure as follows:
The compareGroups
package has three
functions:
compareGroups
creates an object of class
compareGroups
. This object can be:
createTable
creates an object of class
createTable
. This object can be:
export2csv
, export2html
,
export2latex
, export2pdf
,
export2md
, export2word
and
export2xls
will export results to CSV, HTML, LaTeX, PDF,
Markdown, Word or Excel, respectively.Figure 1 shows how the package is structured in terms of functions, classes and methods.
Since version 4.0, a new function called
descrTable
has been implemented which is a
shortcut of compareGroups
and createTable
,
i.e. step 1 and step 2 in a single step (see section 4.2.5).
To illustrate how this package works we took a sample from REGICOR study. REGICOR is a cross-sectional study with participants from a north-east region of Spain from whom different sets of variables were collected: demographic (age, sex, …), anthropomorphic (height, weight, waist, …), lipid profile (total and cholesterol, triglycerides, …), questionnaires (physical activity, quality of life, …), etc. Also, cardiovascular events and mortality were obtained from hospital and official registries and reports along more than 10 years.
First of all, load REGICOR data typing:
data(regicor)
Variables and labels in this data frame are:
Name | Label | Codes |
---|---|---|
id | Individual id | |
year | Recruitment year | 1995; 2000; 2005 |
age | Age | |
sex | Sex | Male; Female |
smoker | Smoking status | Never smoker; Current or former < 1y; Former \(\geq\) 1y |
sbp | Systolic blood pressure | |
dbp | Diastolic blood pressure | |
histhtn | History of hypertension | Yes; No |
txhtn | Hypertension treatment | No; Yes |
chol | Total cholesterol | |
hdl | HDL cholesterol | |
triglyc | Triglycerides | |
ldl | LDL cholesterol | |
histchol | History of hyperchol. | Yes; No |

bmi | Body mass index | |
phyact | Physical activity (Kcal/week) | |

cv | Cardiovascular event | No; Yes |
tocv | Days to cardiovascular event or end of follow-up | |
death | Overall death | No; Yes |
todeath | Days to overall death or end of follow-up |
OBSERVATIONS:
It is important to note that
compareGroups
is not aimed to perform
quality control of the data. Other useful packages such as
2lh
(Genolini,
Desgraupes, and Franca 2011) are available for this
purpose.
It is strongly recommended that the data.frame contain only the variables to be analyzed; the ones not needed in the present analysis should be removed from the list.
The nature of variables to be analyzed should be known, or at least which variables are to be used as categorical. It is important to code categorical variables as factors and the order of their levels is meaningful in this package.
To label the variables set the “label” attributes from each of them. The tables of results will contain the variable labels (by default).
A variable of class Surv
must be created to deal with
time-to-event variables (i.e., time to Cardiovascular event/censored in
our example):
library(survival)
$tmain <- with(regicor, Surv(tocv, cv == 'Yes'))
regicorattr(regicor$tmain,"label") <- "Time to CV event or censoring"
Note that variable tcv are created as time-to-death and time-to-cardiovascular event taking into account censoring (i.e. they are of class Surv).
compareGroups
is the main function which does all the
calculus. It is needed to store results in an object. Later, applying
the function createTable
(Section 4.2) to this object will
create tables of the analysis results.
For example, to perform a univariate analysis with the regicor data between year (“response” variable) and all other variables (“explanatory” variables), this formula is required:
compareGroups(year ~ . , data=regicor)
If only a dot occurs on the right side of the ~
all
variables in the data frame will be used.
To remove the variable id from the analysis, use
-
in the formula:
compareGroups(year ~ . - id, data=regicor)
To select some explanatory variables (e.g., age,
sex and bmi) and store results in an object of class
compareGroups
:
<-compareGroups(year ~ age + sex + bmi, data=regicor)
res res
-------- Summary of results by groups of 'Recruitment year'---------
var N p.value method selection
1 Age 2294 0.078* continuous normal ALL
2 Sex 2294 0.506 categorical ALL
3 Body mass index 2259 <0.001** continuous normal ALL
-----
Signif. codes: 0 '**' 0.05 '*' 0.1 ' ' 1
Note: Although we have full data (n= 2294) for Age and Sex, there are some missing data in body mass index (bmi).
Mean values of body mass index is statistically different among recruitment years (p-value < 0.05), while Age and Sex are not statistically related to recruitment year (p-value > 0.05).
Age & BMI has been used as continuous and normal distributed, while sex as categorical.
No filters have been used (e.g., selecting only treated patients); therefore, the selection column lists “ALL” (for all variables).
To perform the analysis in a subset of participants (e.g., “female” participants):
compareGroups(year ~ age + smoker + bmi, data=regicor, subset = sex=='Female')
-------- Summary of results by groups of 'year'---------
var N p.value method selection
1 Age 1193 0.351 continuous normal sex == "Female"
2 Smoking status 1162 <0.001** categorical sex == "Female"
3 Body mass index 1169 0.084* continuous normal sex == "Female"
-----
Signif. codes: 0 '**' 0.05 '*' 0.1 ' ' 1
Note that only results for female participants are shown.
To subset specific variable/s (e.g., age and bmi):
compareGroups(year ~ age + bmi + smoker, data=regicor, selec = list(age= sex=="Female", bmi = age>50 ))
-------- Summary of results by groups of 'Recruitment year'---------
var N p.value method selection
1 Age 1193 0.351 continuous normal sex == "Female"
2 Body mass index 1367 0.002** continuous normal age > 50
3 Smoking status 2233 <0.001** categorical ALL
-----
Signif. codes: 0 '**' 0.05 '*' 0.1 ' ' 1
In this case, age distribution are computed among females, while BMI among people older than 50 years.
Combinations are also allowed, e.g.:
compareGroups(year ~ age + smoker + bmi, data=regicor, selec = list(bmi=age>50), subset = sex=="Female")
-------- Summary of results by groups of 'year'---------
var N p.value method selection
1 Age 1193 0.351 continuous normal sex == "Female"
2 Smoking status 1162 <0.001** categorical sex == "Female"
3 Body mass index 709 0.308 continuous normal (sex == "Female") & (age > 50)
-----
Signif. codes: 0 '**' 0.05 '*' 0.1 ' ' 1
A variable can appear twice in the formula, e.g.:
compareGroups(year ~ age + sex + bmi + bmi, data=regicor, selec = list(bmi.1=txhtn=='Yes'))
-------- Summary of results by groups of 'Recruitment year'---------
var N p.value method selection
1 Age 2294 0.078* continuous normal ALL
2 Sex 2294 0.506 categorical ALL
3 Body mass index 2259 <0.001** continuous normal ALL
4 Body mass index 420 0.008** continuous normal txhtn == "Yes"
-----
Signif. codes: 0 '**' 0.05 '*' 0.1 ' ' 1
In this case results for bmi will be reported for all
participants (n= 2294) and also for only those recieving no hypertension
treatment. Note that “bmi.1” in the selec
argument refers
to the second time that bmi appears in the formula.
By default continuous variables are analyzed as normal-distributed.
When a table is built (see createTable
function, Section
4.2), continuous variables will be described with mean and standard
deviation. To change default options, e.g., “tryglic” used as non-normal
distributed:
compareGroups(year ~ age + smoker + triglyc, data=regicor, method = c(triglyc=2))
-------- Summary of results by groups of 'Recruitment year'---------
var N p.value method selection
1 Age 2294 0.078* continuous normal ALL
2 Smoking status 2233 <0.001** categorical ALL
3 Triglycerides 2231 0.762 continuous non-normal ALL
-----
Signif. codes: 0 '**' 0.05 '*' 0.1 ' ' 1
Note that “continuous non-normal” is shown in the method column for the variable Hormone-replacement therapy.
Possible values in methods statement are:
1: forces analysis as normal-distributed
2: forces analysis as continuous non-normal
3: forces analysis as categorical
NA: performs a Shapiro-Wilks test to decide between normal or non-normal
If the method
argument is stated as NA
for
a variable, then a Shapiro-Wilks test for normality is used to decide if
the variable is normal or non-normal distributed. To change the
significance threshold:
compareGroups(year ~ age + smoker + triglyc, data=regicor, method = c(triglyc=NA), alpha= 0.01)
-------- Summary of results by groups of 'Recruitment year'---------
var N p.value method selection
1 Age 2294 0.078* continuous normal ALL
2 Smoking status 2233 <0.001** categorical ALL
3 Triglycerides 2231 0.762 continuous non-normal ALL
-----
Signif. codes: 0 '**' 0.05 '*' 0.1 ' ' 1
According to Shapiro-Wilks test, stating the cutpoint at 0.01 significance level, triglycerides departed significantly from the normal distribution and therefore the method for this variable will be “continuous non-normal”.
All non factor variables are considered as continuous. Exception is made (by default) for those that have fewer than 5 different values. This threshold can be changed in the min.dis statement:
$age7gr<-as.integer(cut(regicor$age, breaks=c(-Inf,40,45,50,55,65,70,Inf), right=TRUE))
regicorcompareGroups(year ~ age7gr, data=regicor, method = c(age7gr=NA))
-------- Summary of results by groups of 'Recruitment year'---------
var N p.value method selection
1 age7gr 2294 0.022** continuous non-normal ALL
-----
Signif. codes: 0 '**' 0.05 '*' 0.1 ' ' 1
compareGroups(year ~ age7gr, data=regicor, method = c(age7gr=NA), min.dis=8)
-------- Summary of results by groups of 'Recruitment year'---------
var N p.value method selection
1 age7gr 2294 0.012** categorical ALL
-----
Signif. codes: 0 '**' 0.05 '*' 0.1 ' ' 1
To avoid errors the maximum categories for the response variable is
set at 5 in this example (default value). If this variable has more than
5 different values, the function compareGroups
returns an
error message. For example:
$var6cat <- factor(sample(1:5, nrow(regicor), replace=TRUE))
regicorcompareGroups(age7gr ~ sex + bmi + smoker, data=regicor)
Error in compareGroups.fit(X = X, y = y, include.label = include.label, :
number of groups must be less or equal to 5
Defaults setting can be changed with the max.ylev statement:
compareGroups(age7gr ~ sex + bmi + smoker, data=regicor, max.ylev=7)
-------- Summary of results by groups of 'age7gr'---------
var N p.value method selection
1 Sex 2294 0.950 categorical ALL
2 Body mass index 2259 <0.001** continuous normal ALL
3 Smoking status 2233 <0.001** categorical ALL
-----
Signif. codes: 0 '**' 0.05 '*' 0.1 ' ' 1
Similarly, by default there is a limit for the maximum number of levels for an explanatory variable. If this level is exceeded, the variable is removed from the analysis and a warning message is printed:
compareGroups(year ~ sex + age7gr, method=c(age7gr=3), data=regicor, max.xlev=5)
Warning in compareGroups.fit(X = X, y = y, include.label = include.label, :
Variables 'age7gr' have been removed since some errors occurred
Although the options described in this section correspond to
compareGroups
function, results of changing/setting them
won’t be visible until the table is created with the
createTable
function (explained later).
include.label
: By default the variable
labels are shown in the output (if there is no label the name will be
printed). Changing the statement include.label from “= TRUE” (default)
to “= FALSE” will cause variable names to be printed instead.compareGroups(year ~ age + smoker + bmi, data=regicor, include.label= FALSE)
-------- Summary of results by groups of 'year'---------

: When the method
for a variable is stated as “2” (i.e., to be analyzed as continuous

Note that because only variables 1, 3 and 4 are selected, only results for Age, Sex and Triglycerides are shown. Age is summarized by the mean and the standard deviation, Sex by frequencies and percentage, and Triglycerides (method=2) by the median and quartiles.
Variables can be plotted to see their distribution. Plots differ according to whether the variable is continuous or categorical. Plots can be seen on-screen or saved in different formats (BMP, JPG’, PNG, TIF or PDF). To specify the format use the argument `type’.
plot(res[c(1,2)], file="./figures/univar/", type="png")
Plots also can be done according to grouping variable. In this case only a boxplot is shown for continuous variables:
plot(res[c(1,2)], bivar=TRUE, file="./figures/bivar/", type="png")
The object from compareGroups
can later be updated. For
example:
<-compareGroups(year ~ age + sex + smoker + bmi, data=regicor)

Signif. codes: 0 '**' 0.05 '*' 0.1 ' ' 1
The object res
is updated using:
<-update(res, . ~. - sex + triglyc + cv + tocv, subset = sex=='Female', method = c(triglyc=2, tocv=2), selec = list(triglyc=txchol=='No'))
res res
Note that “Sex” is removed as an explanatory variable but used as a filter, subsetting only “Female” participants. Three new variables have been added: Triglycerides, cardiovascular event (yes/no) and time to cardiovascular event or censoring (stated continuous non-normal). For Triglycerides is stated to show only data of participants with no treatment for cholesterol.
Since version 3.0, there is a new function called
getResults
to retrieve some specific results computed by
compareGroups
, such as p-values, descriptives (means,
proportions, …), etc.
For example, it may be interesting to recover the p-values for each
variable as a vector to further manipulate it in
R
, like adjusting for multiple comparison
with p.adjust
. For example, lets take the example data from
SNPassoc
package that contains information
of dozens of SNPs (genetic variants) from a sample of cases and
controls. In this case we analize five of them:
data(SNPs)
<- createTable(compareGroups(casco ~ snp10001 + snp10002 + snp10005 + snp10008 + snp10009, SNPs))
tab <- getResults(tab, "p.overall")
pvals p.adjust(pvals, method = "BH")
snp10001 snp10002 snp10005 snp10008 snp10009
0.7051300 0.7072158 0.7583432 0.7583432 0.7072158
Alternatively, since 4.6.0 version, a new function called
padjustCompareGroups
created by Jordi Real
<jordirealp.adjust
function, i.e. Bonferroni, False Discovery Rate,
etc.
This function takes the compareGroups
object and
re-computes the p-values. To obtain the same table as above with the
p-values correted by “BH” method:
<- compareGroups(casco ~ snp10001 + snp10002 + snp10005 + snp10008 + snp10009, SNPs)
cg createTable(padjustCompareGroups(cg, method="BH"))

When the response variable is of class Surv
, the
bivariate plot
function returns a Kaplan-Meier figure if
the explanatory variable is categorical. For continuous variables the
function returns a line for each individual, ending with a circle for
censored and with a plus sign for uncensored.
plot(compareGroups(tmain ~ sex, data=regicor), bivar=TRUE, file="./figures/bivarsurv/", type="png")
plot(compareGroups(tmain ~ age, data=regicor), bivar=TRUE, file="./figures/bivarsurv/", type="png")
When a variable of class Surv
(see Section 3.1) is used
as explanatory it will be described with the probability of event,
computed by Kaplan-Meier, up to a stated time.
timemax
: By default probability is
calculated at the median of the follow-up period. timemax
option allows us to change at what time probability is calculated.<-compareGroups(sex ~ age + tmain, timemax=c(tmain=3*365.25), data=regicor)
res res
Note that tmain
is calculated at 3 years, i.e. 3*365.25
days (see section 3.1).
The plot
function applied to a variable of class
Surv
returns a Kaplan-Meier figure. The figure can be
stratified by the grouping variable.
plot(res[2], file="./figures/univar/", type="png")
plot(res[2], bivar=TRUE, file="./figures/bivar/", type="png")
The createTable
function, applied to an object of
compareGroups
class, returns tables with descriptives that
can be displayed on-screen or exported to CSV, LaTeX, HTML, Word or
Excel.
<-compareGroups(year ~ age + sex + smoker + bmi + sbp, data=regicor, selec = list(sbp=txhtn=="No"))
res<-createTable(res) restab
Two tables are created with the createTable
function:
one with the descriptives and the other with the available data. The
print
method applied to an object of class
createTable
prints one or both tables on the
R
console:
print(restab,which.table='descr')

row-variable is normal and from the Spearman test when it is continuous
non-normal. If row-variable is of class Surv
, the test
score is computed from a Cox model where the grouping variable is
introduced as an integer variable predictor. If the row-variable is
categorical, the p-value for trend is computed as
1-pchisq(cor(as.integer(x),as.integer(y))^2*(length(x)-1),1)

NOTE: The resulting object is of class cbind.createTable
and inherits also the class createTable
. This cannot be
updated. It can be nicely printed on the R console and also exported to
LaTeX but it cannot be exported to CSV or HTML.
Since version 4.0, it exists the function
strataTable
to build tables within stratas
defined by the values or levels defined of a variable. Notice that the
syntax is much simpler than using cbind
method. For
example, to perform descriptives by groups, and stratified per
gender:
<- compareGroups(year ~ age + bmi + smoker + histchol + histhtn, regicor)
res <- createTable(res, hide.no="no") restab
strataTable

Making use of descrTable
the user can
build descriptive table in one step. This function takes all the
arguments of compareGroups
function plus the ones from
createTable
function. The result is the same as if the user
first call compareGroups and then createTable. Therefore one can use the
same methods and functions avaiable for createTable objects (subsetting,
ploting, printing, exporting, etc.)
To describe all varaible from regicor dataset, just type:
descrTable(regicor)

Note that, since version 3.0, it is necessary write the extension of the file.
which.table
: By default only the
table with the descriptives is exported. This can be changed with the
which.table
argument: “avail” exports only available data
and “both” exports both tables.
nmax
: By default a first row with
the maximum “n” for available data (i.e. the number of participants
minus the least missing data) is exported. Stating nmax
argument to FALSE this first row is omitted.
sep
: Only relevant when table is
exported to csv. Stating, for example, sep = ";"
table will
be exported to csv with columns separated by “;”.
A special case of exporting is when tables are exported to LaTeX. The
function export2latex
returns an object with the tex code
as a character that can be changed in the
R
session.
file
: If file
argument in
export2latex
is missing, the code is printed in the
R
console. This can be useful when
R
code is inserted in a LaTeX document
chunk to be processed with Sweave
package.<-createTable(compareGroups(year ~ age + sex + smoker + bmi + histchol, data=regicor))

size
: The font size of exported
tables can be changed by this argument. Possible values are “tiny”,
“scriptsize”, “footnotesize”, “small”, “normalsize”, “large”, “Large”,
“LARGE”,“huge”, “Huge” or “same”. Default is “same”, which means that
font size of the table is the same as specified in the main LaTeX
document where the table will be inserted.
caption
: The table caption for
descriptives table and available data table. If which.table
is set to “both” the first element of “caption” will be assigned to
descriptives table and the second to available data table. If it is set
to ““, no caption is inserted. Default value is NULL
, which
writes”Summary descriptives table by groups of ‘y’” for descriptives
table and “Available data by groups of ‘y’” for the available data
table.
loc.caption
: Table caption
location. Possible values are “top” or “bottom”. Default value is
“top”.
label
: Used to cite tables in a
LaTeX document. If which.table
is set to “both” the first
element of “label” will be assigned to the descriptives table and the
second to the available data table. Default value is NULL
,
which assigns no label to the table/s.
landscape
: Table is placed in
horizontal way. This option is specially useful when table contains many
columns and/or they are too wide to be placed vertically.
Since 4.0 version, export2md
supports
cbind.createTable
class objects, i.e. when exporting
stratified descriptive tables. Also, nicer and more customizable tables
can be reported making use of kableExtra
package (such as
size, strip rows, etc.).
Following, there are some examples when exporting to HTML.
First create the descriptive table of REGICOR variables by recruitment year.

Since version 2.0 of compareGroups
package, there is a function called report
which
automatically generates a PDF document with the “descriptive” table as
well as the corresponding “available”” table. In addition, plots of all
analysed variables are shown.
In order to make easier to navigate through the document, an index with hyperlinks is inserted in the document.
See the help file of this function where you can find an example with
the REGICOR data (the other example data set contained in the
compareGroups
package)
# to know more about report function
?report
# info about REGICOR data set
?regicor
Also, you can use the function radiograph
that dumps the
raw values on a plain text file. This may be useful to identify possible
wrong codes or non-valid values in the data set.
Many times, it is important to be aware of the missingness contained in each variable, possibly by groups. Although “available” table shows the number of the non-missing values for each row-variable and in each group, it would be desirable to test whether the frequency of non-available data is different between groups.
For this porpose, a new function has been implemented in the
compareGroups
package, which is called
missingTable
. This function applies to both
compareGroups
and createTable
class objects.
This last option is useful when the table is already created. To
illustrate it, we will use the REGICOR data set, comparing missing rates
of all variables by year:
# from a compareGroups object
data(regicor)
<- compareGroups(year ~ .-id, regicor)

Perhaps a NA value of a categorical variable may mean something
different from just non available. For example, patients admitted for
“Coronary Acute Syndrome” with NA
in “ST elevation” may
have a higher risk of in-hospital death than the ones with available
data, i.e. “ST elevation” yes or not. If these kind of variables are
introduced in the data set as NA
, they are removed from the
analysis. To avoid the user having to recode NA
as a new
category for all categorical variables, new argument called
include.miss
in compareGroups
function has
been implemented which does it automatically. Let’s see an example with
all variables from REGICOR data set by cardiovascular event.
# first create time-to-cardiovascular event
$tcv<-with(regicor,Surv(tocv,cv=='Yes'))
regicor# create the table
<- compareGroups(tcv ~ . -id-tocv-cv-todeath-death, regicor, include.miss = TRUE)

In the version 2.0 of compareGroups
, it
is possible to analyse genetic data, more concretely Single Nucleotic
Polymorphisms (SNPs), using the function compareSNPs
. This
function takes advantage of SNPassoc
(González et al. 2012) and
HardyWeinberg
(Graffelman 2012) packages to perform quality
control of genetic data displaying the Minor Allele Frequencies,
Missingness, Hardy Weinberg Equilibrium, etc. of the whole data set or
by groups. When groups are considered, it also performs a test to check
whether missingness rates is the same among groups.
Following, we illustrate this by an example taking a data set from
SNPassoc
package.
First of all, load the SNPs
data from
SNPassoc
, and visualize the first rows.
Notice how are the SNPs coded, i.e. by the alleles. The alleles
separator can be any character. If so, this must be specified in the
sep
argument of compareSNPs
function (type
?compareSNPs
for more details).

In this data frame there are some genetic and non-genetic data. Genetic variables are those whose names begin with “snp”. If we want to summarize the first three SNPs by case control status:

Note that all variables specified in the right hand side of the
formula must be SNPs, i.e. variables whose levels or codes can be
interpreted as genotypes (see setupSNPs
function from
SNPassoc
package for more information).
Separated summary tables by groups of cases and controls are displayed,
and the last table corresponds to missingness test comparing
non-available rates among groups.
If summarizing SNPs in the whole data set is desired, without
separating by groups, leave the left side of formula in blank, as in
compareGroups
function. In this case, a single table is
displayed and no missingness test is performed.

Once the compareGroups
package is
loaded, a Graphical User Interface (GUI) is displayed in response to
typing cGroupsGUI(regicor)
. The GUI is meant to make it
feasible for users who are unfamiliar with
R
to construct bivariate tables. Note
that, since version 3.0, it is necessary to specifiy an existing
data.frame as input. So, for example, you can load the REGICOR data by
typing data(regicor)
before calling cGroupsGUI
function.
In this section we illustrate, step by step, how to construct a bivariate table containing descriptives by groups from the regicor data using the GUI:

to the file formats listed.
For a case-control study, it may be necessary to report the Odds Ratio between cases and controls for each variable. The table below contains Odds Ratios for cardiovascular event for each row-variable.
OR | p.ratio | p.overall | |
---|---|---|---|
Age | 1.02 [1.00;1.04] | 0.017 | 0.018 |

Diastolic blood pressure | 1.03 [1.01;1.05] | 0.002 | 0.009 |
Hypertension treatment | 1.37 [0.82;2.21] | 0.223 | 0.270 |
To build this table, as illustrated in the screens below, you would select htn variable (Hypertension status) as the factor variable, indicate “no” category on the “reference” pull-down menu, and mark “Show odds/hazard ratio” in the “Report Options” menu before exporting the table.
