Table 4 Number Needed to Treat (NNT) calculated using the hazard ratios (HR) and the survival probability in the high risk group at the time-point of 7.5 yr

From: The number of risk factors not at target is associated with cardiovascular risk in a type 2 diabetic population with albuminuria in primary cardiovascular prevention. Post-hoc analysis of the NID-2 trial
