How do you interpret odds ratio in multinomial logistic regression?
An odds ratio > 1 indicates that the risk of the outcome falling in the comparison group relative to the risk of the outcome falling in the referent group increases as the variable increases. In other words, the comparison outcome is more likely.
Why can odds ratios be misleading?
The discrepancy between a relative risk reduction and the equivalent relative odds reduction (100×(1−odds ratio)%) can be misleading. When event rates are high (commonly the case in trials and systematic reviews) the relative odds reduction can be many times larger than the equivalent relative risk reduction.
What is the major problem faced when interpreting the results of studies that use odds ratios to approximate the relative risk?
Unfortunately, there is a recognised problem that odds ratios do not approximate well to the relative risk when the initial risk (that is, the prevalence of the outcome of interest) is high. Thus there is a danger that if odds ratios are interpreted as though they were relative risks then they may mislead.

Are there any problems with multinomial logistic regression?
Multiple logistic regression analyses, one for each pair of outcomes: One problem with this approach is that each analysis is potentially run on a different sample. The other problem is that without constraining the logistic models, we can end up with the probability of choosing all possible outcome categories greater than 1.
