An odds ratio (OR) is generally a measure of association between an exposure and an outcome. Thus we see that the OR represents the odds that an outcome will occur given a particular exposure, compared to the odds of the outcome occurring in the absence of that exposure.

unfavourable = 11-4 =7

SO odds ratio = 4:7
