A time specific NNT t) is interpreted as the average number of patients needed to be treated to observe one event-free patient more in the treatment group than in the control group at time point t.
The NNH is the number of patients that should be treated to observe the occurrence of one extra adverse event in the treatment group compared to the control group.
This describes the number of patients that have to be treated to observe a specific problem (e.g., death, recurrence of malignant disease, or headache) in the experimental-treatment group in one case less than in the control group.
The NNH for steroid injection versus other commonly used treatments was 26 (ie, 26 patients would need to be treated to observe the occurrence of 1 extra adverse event in the injection group) compared to all the comparators, and versus placebo it was 9; however, the confidence intervals were not significant.

Such a practical measure is the number needed to treat (NNT), ie, the number of patients that need to be treated with a particular therapy to observe a clinically relevant effect or adverse event in one patient.
Such a practical measure is the "number needed to treat" (NNT), i.e., the number of patients who need to be treated with a particular therapy to observe a clinically relevant effect or adverse event in one patient (22).
