The number needed to treat (NNT) is a valuable information in treatment decisions. This is the result of a calculation based on published data, collected from an intervention study. NNT is the inverse of the absolute risk reduction (1/ARR) between two treatment options. It is always expressed...
Calculating the number needed to treat (NNT) has been widely used to help understand treatment effect results of randomized controlled trials (RCTs). Combined benefit-and-harm profiles from RCT results have to be taken into account to maximize benefits and minimize harms. Unfortunately, in the ...
Within 'evidence-based medicine and health care' the 'number needed to treat' (NNT) has been promoted as the most clinically useful measure of the effectiveness of interventions as established by research. Is the NNT, in either its simple or adjusted form, 'easily understood', 'intuitively mea...

The article focuses on the factors that influence the number required to treat and that must be taken into account when comparing these values between therapies. It specifies that the number needed to treat is a useful measure for counseling patients about their potential to benefit from a certain...
The number needed to treat is the number of patients who need to be treated to prevent one additional adverse outcome. This number (with confidence interval) is a clinically useful way to report the results of controlled trials. For any trial which has reported a binary outcome, the number ...
