Everything about The Relative Risk Reduction totally explained
The
relative risk reduction is a measure used in
epidemiology. It is calculated by dividing the
absolute risk reduction by the control event rate.
The relative risk reduction can be more useful than the absolute risk reduction in determining an appropriate treatment plan, because it accounts not only for the effectiveness of a proposed treatment, but also for the relative likelihood of an incident (positive or negative) occurring in the absence of treatment.
Like many other epidemiological measures, the same equations can be used to measure a benefit or a harm (although the
signs may need to be adjusted, depending upon how the data was collected.)
