Assunto: query about use of NNT in meta analysis
During study of EBM, I found the statement that use of NNT derived from
meta-analysis directly can be misleading.
NNT is the one of the best way to express the actual outcome in more
cost-
effective manner. And that's why it is used as measure of effectiveness
of
treatment (Risk Reduction).
So how can we rely on results based as NNT in meta-analysis ?
