Instruction: Separate the discontinuous entities from the provided types.

There were 10 , 990 women in the primary prevention trials ( 28 % of the total ) .


Instruction: Extract entities from the given categories that are not continuous.

Only coronary events were reported for women , but when these were pooled they were not reduced by statin therapy , RR 0 . 98 [ 0 . 85 - 1 . 12 ] .

Thus the coronary benefit in primary prevention trials appears to be limited to men , RR 0 . 74 [ 0 . 68 - 0 . 81 ] , ARR 2 . 0 % , NNT 50 for 3 to 5 years .
