Antibiotics for Sinusitis (AND An Amazing Website)

This is a really interesting website (www.thennt.com)!  It basically reviews medical trials and presents the results in a way someone without a degree in statistics can understand.  The "NNT" refers to the number of patients doctors need to treat to see a particular result.  

In regards to taking antibiotics for sinusitis it found (after reviewing five trials including approximately 500 participants) that:

1 in 15 were helped (faster resolution of symptoms)
1 in 8 were harmed (medication side effects)
1 in 71 did not tolerate the antibiotics

A staggering 93.2% of participants saw no benefit.  Check out the link if you're interested!  http://www.thennt.com/antibiotics-for-sinusitis/
