p:abstract
  • OpenEpi is a free, web-based, open source, operating system-independent series of programs for use in epidemiology, biostatistics, public health, and medicine, providing a number of epidemiologic and statistical tools for summary data (see statistical packages). OpenEpi was developed in JavaScript and hypertext markup language (HTML) and can be run in browsers supporting these languages, and therefore can run under various web browsers, such as Microsoft Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, Safari, and Opera, on a number of operating systems, such as Microsoft Windows, Macintosh, and Linux. The program can be run from the OpenEpi website or downloaded and run without a web connection. The source code and documentation is downloadable and freely available for use by other investigators. The OpenEpi developers have had extensive experience in the development and testing of Epi Info (www.cdc.gov/epiinfo), a program developed by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and widely used around the world for data entry and analysis. OpenEpi was developed to perform analyses found in the DOS version of Epi Info modules StatCalc and EpiTable, to improve upon the types of analyses provided by these modules, and to provide a number of tools and calculations not currently available in Epi Info. It is the first step toward an entirely web-based set of epidemiologic software tools. OpenEpi can be thought of as an important companion to Epi Info and to other programs such as SAS, SPSS, and EpiData. Both OpenEpi and Epi Info were developed with the goal of providing tools for low and moderate resource areas of the world. The initial development of OpenEpi was supported by a grant from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation to Emory University. The types of calculations currently performed by OpenEpi include: * Various confidence intervals for proportions, rates, standardized mortality ratio, mean, median, percentiles * 2x2 crude and stratified tables for count and rate data * Matched case-control analysis * Test for trend with count data * Independent t-test and one-way ANOVA * Diagnostic and screening test analyses with receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves * Sample size for proportions, cross-sectional surveys, unmatched case-control, cohort, randomized controlled trials, and comparison of two means * Power calculations for proportions (unmatched case-control, cross-sectional, cohort, randomized controlled trials) and for the comparison of two means * Random number generator For epidemiologists and other health researchers, OpenEpi performs a number of calculations based on tables not found in most epidemiologic and statistical packages."
