Explained: How “Relative Risk Reduction” (Vs “Absolute Risk”) exaggerates Medical Study results…

Here is a basic explainer about to crucial concepts to know about when looking at any medical research study results: Relative Risk Reduction (RRR) versus Absolute Risk Reduction (ARR)

Great information. I've been trying to explain this very thing to people for years. The lack of mathematical and statistical education is staggering, as is the degree to which how easily people are suckered. *All* medical efficacy studies should include changes in *absolute* risk.

[christianemichelberger]

This is such an important point. When I had cancer, the adjuvantive treatment that was recommended had "30% risk reduction" according to the doctor. Now, I'm a physician myself. So I looked up the studies. 30% was the relative risk reduction.

Of 100 patients with my cancer stage and biology, 25 had suffered a relapse within 5 years. 8 of the relapses could have been prevented by the suggested therapy. That makes it 8% for relapse and it was 2% absolute percentage for death in 5 years. I didn't take the treatment and 7 years later, I'm still in full remission.

It's sad how people have been manipulated to take the juicy juice.

I read about RRR and ARR last year. I can’t believe the ARR for the c shots are not being shared!

I have long argued that RR and AR should be required in the heading of a study. RR is very deceptive - that's why it is used so often.

We thank you Suneel. Seriously. Don't stop.

[harryedwin]

Statins are promoted this way. Big trail shows RRR of about 30%. ARR is 1%

NNT Number Needed to Treat and NNV Number Needed to Vaccinate are also important concepts.
They tell you how many people you need to treat to get one beneficial effect. 10k people treated to save 8 lives gives an NNT of 1, 250 people treated per life saved. Costs? Side-effects? Risk benefit ratio.

Really hope a LOT of people watch and understand this video. Thanks, Doc.

Thank you Dr Dhand, extremely relevant topic as today's medical professionals seem to expect blind obeisance, when it has been proven many - if not most - of them have been thoroughly compromised in their seeking of mass profits vs mass health of patients.

[scottykay]

Nice. It's good to see the difference. No other Doctor, except for Dr. Dhand, is making this clear to a wide audience.

[monzerjm]

Thanks Doc. For some reason, grasping the precise difference between RRR and ARR can be a little slippery for some of us. A review and explanation like the one you here provide is always welcome.

Relative Risk Reduction vs Absolute Risk Reduction are concepts we need to keep in mind as we “follow the science” and “ follow the data” 🤔

[martingrapp]

When I tried to explain the difference between relative and absolute risk reduction on a covid forum and it's significance in evaluating the effectiveness and more importantly the necessity of the vaccines I was vilified and called a conspiracy theorist. I despair at how utterly brainwashed most people. are and the futility of trying to enlighten them.

[candacekyle]

I love the robotic repeating of a statistical reduction without swaying which is exactly what we are seeing in some these days. It shameful how so many ppl were duped....and harmed and then on top of that gaslighted to believe they weren't.

[jameskesler]

Another excellent presentation of critical information! 👍

[frankmartinez]

Always enjoy your insight on medicine!!

[PistolPete]

Thanks, doc. I appreciate your content. A good example of this is the statin meta analysis in JAMA recently.

I saw a video by a guy named Dr Ron Brown on this very topic about 6 months into the 'demic, & haven't heard much about it from anyone since. I'm happy to see it being talked about more, not many 'laymen' are familiar with the term at least in my experience, & msm certainly won't be enlightening people to the concept.
