How can you use “nnh” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:

  • Importantly, estimates of NNH as calculated by differences between exposed and unexposed prevalence rates, shown above, were very similar to NNH determined using differences between our estimated 9-month incidence rates in exposed and unexposed (NNH was 17 for AR and 108 for MR by this approach), further illustrating the internal consistency of our analysis.

  • However, the readers are advised to exercise due caution because NNT and NNH (number of patients to harm) are more influenced by the baseline risk in a control group than the odds ratio.

  • Relative benefit and relative risk estimates were calculated with 95% confidence intervals using a fixed effects model [ 19 ] . Heterogeneity tests were not used as they have previously been shown to be unhelpful [ 20 21 ] , though homogeneity was examined visually [ 22 ] . Publication bias was not assessed using funnel plots as these tests have been shown to be unhelpful [ 23 24 ] . The number needed to treat or harm (NNT and NNH) with confidence intervals was calculated by the method of Cook and Sackett [ 25 ] from the sum of all events and patients for treatment and placebo.

  • However, demonstrating association with graded exposures and statistical methods to determine significance or confidence intervals are well defined for relative risk but not for NNH.
