NNT: Numbers Needed to Treat (A Child-Friendly Approach to Smart Decisions)

In this video, we break down the concept of Numbers Needed to Treat (NNT) into simple terms specifically for pediatric care. Discover how NNT can guide smarter decision-making by highlighting how many children need a certain treatment for one to benefit. Using a clear example—comparing a group receiving a therapy to one without—we’ll show you exactly how to calculate NNT, interpret it, and use it in everyday pediatric practice. Learn why NNT matters, what it tells us about the effectiveness of interventions, and how it can help balance benefits against costs and potential side effects. By the end of this short lesson, you’ll have a solid grasp of one of the core tools in evidence-based medicine.
