Number Needed to Treat (NNT)
The number of patients who need a treatment for one to benefit.
NNT translates trial results into patient-friendly numbers. NNT of 10 means treat 10 patients to benefit 1; NNT of 100 means treat 100 to benefit 1.
What this means for you: NNTs help you weigh whether modest benefits justify side-effect risks. Ask your physician for the NNT of recommended treatments.
