In epidemiology, preventable fraction among the unexposed (PFu), is the proportion of incidents in the unexposed group that could be prevented by exposure. It is calculated as , where is the incidence in the exposed group, is the incidence in the unexposed group, and is the relative risk.[1][2] It is a synonym of the relative risk reduction.
It is used when an exposure reduces the risk, as opposed to increasing it, in which case its symmetrical notion is attributable fraction among the exposed.[citation needed]
Numerical example
Quantity | Experimental group (E) | Control group (C) | Total |
---|---|---|---|
Events (E) | EE = 15 | CE = 100 | 115 |
Non-events (N) | EN = 135 | CN = 150 | 285 |
Total subjects (S) | ES = EE + EN = 150 | CS = CE + CN = 250 | 400 |
Event rate (ER) | EER = EE / ES = 0.1, or 10% | CER = CE / CS = 0.4, or 40% | — |
Variable | Abbr. | Formula | Value |
---|---|---|---|
Absolute risk reduction | ARR | CER − EER | 0.3, or 30% |
Number needed to treat | NNT | 1 / (CER − EER) | 3.33 |
Relative risk (risk ratio) | RR | EER / CER | 0.25 |
Relative risk reduction | RRR | (CER − EER) / CER, or 1 − RR | 0.75, or 75% |
Preventable fraction among the unexposed | PFu | (CER − EER) / CER | 0.75 |
Odds ratio | OR | (EE / EN) / (CE / CN) | 0.167 |
