  • Relative Risk Reduction (RRR) is a measure used in epidemiology and clinical research to compare the risk of a certain event (such as disease, injury, or complication) between two groups: one exposed to an intervention (treatment or preventive measure) and the other not exposed (usually receiving a placebo or standard care). RRR quantifies how much the risk is reduced in the intervention group compared to the control group.
    Problems:
    Which of the following is/are ordinal data?
    A) NYHA I-IV
    B) Sex
    C) Improvement Yes/No
    D) Grade of breast cancer
    E) Alive or Dead
    In the US Nurses’ Health Study (NHS) cohort study, where they looked at association of regular aspirin use (≥two 325 mg tablets/week) and colorectal cancer in 82,911 women found (RR, 0.77; 95% CI, 0.67-0.88) over 20 years of follow-up. What does this say about the mortality from colorectal cancer?
    A) Those who takes aspirin ≥2 times/week have 23% lower risk of colorectal cancer *
    B) Those who takes aspirin ≥2 times/week have 0.77% lower risk of colorectal cancer
    C) Those who takes aspirin ≥2 times/week have 77% lower risk of colorectal cancer
    D) Those who takes aspirin ≥2 times/week have 0.23% reduction in death from colorectal cancer
    E) None of the above is correct
