Evidence-based medicine is described as "the use of mathematical estimates of the risk of benefit and harm, derived from high-quality research on population samples, to inform clinical decision-making in the diagnosis, investigation or management of individual patients".
In applying our model, methods are needed to resolve uncertainty arising from imprecision in the estimates of treatment benefit and treatment harm derived from group-level results from RCTs.

Outcome probabilities were also frequently underpinned by aggregate-level evidence (where stated) on the benefit to harm ratios derived from randomised controlled trials, which may not necessarily reflect outcomes for individual patients within routine practice [ 62].
Aggregate-level estimates of the likely balance of benefits and risks of harm from treatment derived from event rates reported in randomised controlled trials [ 4, 5] and patient registries [ 7, 8] have been used to support clinical decision-making about thrombolytic treatment and to convey probabilistic information on outcome states to patients/relatives.
Figure 4 shows a dramatic drop in the decision threshold as a function of the ratio between benefit and harms, which is derived from empirically obtained evidence.

Simoncini (2014) referring to L'Aquila notes the possible harm that can be derived from: (1) under-estimating the necessity of science's autonomy (i.e. maintaining the separation between the science of hazard assessment and the political goals of risk management decisions); and (2) any confusion of responsibilities.
The number needed to harm (NNH) for risks, derived from the inverse of the absolute risk difference, was also used to measure toxicity risk.

However, Read code algorithm-defined self-harm incidence rates were lower than those derived from self-harm hospital registry data, e.g. male rates at all ages were 148.6 per 100 000 vs. 317 per 100 000 based on the Multicentre Study register data.
