Bart,
following your clarification here is my suggested formula:

P = ( Pa + Pd ) / 2

where

Pa = A / ( A + B )
Pd = D / ( C + D )

With your numeric example that leads to P = 0.58, meaning that there is a 58% chance the treatement applied to a patient with condition X will result in the desired outcome.

From what I've read I decided to use Fisher exact test.
That in itself presented another problem because I now had to calculate with large factorials, which tend to bomb out if you can't use 80-bit extended type.

Fotunately I rembered (from way back in high school) I could use logarithmics to avoid that.
