Hi Nigel, I'm a bit confused, at 7:16 you explain the ARC, which is the control event rate as patients who are NOT on a statin (red plus yellow faces), however yellow faces are defined as people saved from a CV because the have taken a statin. Can you please explain? thanks

[@MentorMRCGP_AKT_SCA]

ARR = ARC - ART, therefore ARC = ARR (yellow) +ART (red)

How would you calculate the Number need to harm? Would that only be possible if there were the green crossed out faces? as in 100 divided by no. of green crossed out faces?

[@MentorMRCGP_AKT_SCA]

correct | NNH=100/ARI ( green crossed out faces)
