Especially pertinent to statins, this quote from a letter to the editor of BMJ (British Medical Journal) last week: "Guidance advises that huge numbers should be treated for hypertension and hypercholesterolaemia. Yet there is little recognition that studies are good at measuring the high level benefit to the few but are poor at identifying the low level harm to the many. We have a measure of how many we need to treat to benefit, but little idea of how many we harm, or of how much we harm them. "
