Risk Reduction Calculator

Given information about the probability of an outcome under control and experimental treatments, this calculator produces measures of risk increase/decrease and number needed to treat or harm, including confidence intervals. If some patients were lost to follow-up, the calculator provides estimates for several different scenarios.
