Example sentences for: nnh
How can you use “nnh” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
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.
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, 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.
NNH may be calculated as the inverse of the difference between risk in exposed and risk in unexposed persons.
A risk difference, as used to calculate NNH, is less subject to nondifferential misclassification than is a risk ratio.
