Summary statistics - absolute risk reduction and number needed to treat

from Pharmacy Microteaches · host Dave Abbott

How and why do we use summary statistics to explain clinical trials, and why are some statistics better than others for helping us understand what a drug might do? In this podcast, we talk about absolute risks, absolute risk reductions, and number needed to treat, and why they tend to be better statistics to use for understanding compared to odds, odds ratios and relative risk reductions.
