Template:RCT risk increase example

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Example of risk increase
Quantity Experimental group (E) Control group (C) Total
Events (E) EE = 75 CE = 100 175
Non-events (N) EN = 75 CN = 150 225
Total subjects (S) ES = EE + EN = 150 CS = CE + CN = 250 400
Event rate (ER) EER = EE / ES = 0.5, or 50% CER = CE / CS = 0.4, or 40%
Variable Abbr. Formula Value
Absolute risk increase ARI EERCER 0.1, or 10%
Number needed to harm NNH 1 / (EERCER) 10
Relative risk (risk ratio) RR EER / CER 1.25
Relative risk increase RRI (EERCER) / CER, or RR − 1 0.25, or 25%
Attributable fraction among the exposed AFe (EERCER) / EER 0.2
Odds ratio OR (EE / EN) / (CE / CN) 1.5
