attempting to use only female out of the gender variable: proc logistic

Hi there,

I'm running proc logistic to look at the association between a gender variable (categorical 1: Men | 2: Female) and the outcome Heart Failure (0: No 1: Yes) I also have the varaible of heart obstruction (0: no obstruction | 1: obstruction).

My question is to see if there is an association between heart failure and gender (Females only) in no obstruction patients.

I have it as such:

I'm just wondering if this will give me the most accurate odds ratio, or if i'm using the class and where statement correctly Thanks!

You're using the CLASS statement correctly, not sure about the WHERE statement, the syntax is correct. You should check the data is what you want though. I would add an explicit ODDSRATIO statement because I find that easier to interpret, but otherwise looks fine to me.
