The number needed to treat (NNT) is an epidemiological measure used in assessing the effectiveness of a

health-care intervention, typically a treatment with medication. The NNT is the average number of patients

who need to be treated to prevent one additional bad outcome (i.e. the number of patients that need to be treat-

ed for one to benefit compared with a control in a clinical trial). The ideal NNT is 1, where everyone im-

proves with treatment and no one improves with control. The higher the NNT, the less effective is the

treatment.
