Profesor Michael Bretthauer and professor Mette Kalager at the Clinical Effectiveness Research Group recently published the paper "What is my risk, doctor? How to convey disease risk and treatment effects" in the British Medical Journal (BMJ).
The paper focuses on why absolute treatment effects together with the absolute risk of the disease one wants to prevent or treat are more informative and should be used instead of relative risk in patient encounters and elsewhere in the healthcare system and the media.
