The JUPITER Study: Biomarkers Plus Statin vs. Lifestyle Modification for Preventing Cardiovascular Events

摘要

Furthermore, there was a 0.55 percent difference between groups in the main outcome of all-cause mortality after two years (number needed to treat [NNT] of 182 patients for two years to prevent one death). Because the study included a run-in period to screen out noncompliant patients, the NNT is likely to be higher in clinical practice.
