The Physicians' Health Study was a randomized trial of male physicians with no history of myocardial infarction. They received either aspirin or placebo.

There was a 44% reduced risk of myocardial infarction (relative risk, 0.56; 95% CI, 0.45 to 0.70) in men treated with aspirin. The myocardial infarction rates were 255/100,000 in the aspirin arm and 440/100,000 in the placebo arm.

Approximately how many men will need to receive aspirin to prevent one myocardial infarction?
