number of events of interest divided by the number without the event

56
Q

using test group and placebo
the outcome of it not happening in one column
outcome of it happening in the other column

58
Q

what is a risk of relative risk reduction

overestimate the benefit

59
Q

what is the absolute risk reduction

A

the difference between the two values (treated vs untreated)

60
Q

if it overlaps the value of no difference
value of no difference for ratio = 1
if 1 is not within the range = all good
difference between to quantities = 0
