Table 3: Absolute Risk Reduction and Number Needed to Treat from the Meta-Analysis by Huynh et al. (2) of Randomized Controlled Trials.
| Outcome | Events in Thrombolysis Group (%) |
Absolute Percent (95% CrI) |
Number Needed to Treat with Primary PCI to Prevent 1 Event (95% CI) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Short Term All Cause Mortality | 7.1 | 2.2 (1.3 to 3.2) | 45 (31 to 77) |
| Long Term All Cause Mortality | 16.7 | 3.5 (0.7 to 6.4) | 29 (16 to 143) |
| Short Term Reinfarction | 6.7 | 4.5 (3.6 to 5.4) | 22 (19 to 28) |
| Long Term Reinfarction | 9.4 | 3.4 (1.6 to 5.9) | 29 (17 to 63) |
| Stroke | 1.9 | 1.2 (0.8 to 1.5) | 83 (67 to 125) |
CI refers to confidence interval; Crl, credible interval; PCI, percutaneous coronary intervention
