TL;DR
The authors argue that for cohort studies, the use of logistic regression should be sharply curtailed, and that instead, binomial regression be used to directly estimate RRs and associated CIs.

This work proposes a simple method to approximate a risk ratio from the adjusted odds ratio and derive an estimate of an association or treatment effect that better represents the true relative risk.

Viewing the case-control design as a missing-data problem instead of as a sampling problem, which allows estimation of the joint distribution of all variables in the population, offers an additional advantage by linking the “study base principle” of control selection with the statistical concept of “missing at random.”
