Suppose you are conducting a study to compare the effectiveness of two different medications in treating a particular condition. If 30% of patients using medication A experience symptom relief, while 45% of patients using medication B experience symptom relief, what is the odds ratio of medication B being more effective than medication A? Additionally, what is the number needed to treat (NNT) for medication B, and what does this value tell you about the clinical significance of the medication's effectiveness?
