Comparative effectiveness research (CER) has been regarded as a hot topic in health care recently. Many medicalresearchers currently deem CER as a potential powerful instrument for improving the quality of healthcare and cut medical cost. However, in the past, classic efficacy studies are always focusing on comparing one new intervention with placebo under complete controlled environment. Now CER turns to comparing different interventions directly in real world of routine practice. This article reviewed a series of literature about the design, implementation and analysis of CER in order to give a clue for Chinese medicine researchers in future.
比较效果研究(CER)最近被视为医疗保健领域的一个热门话题。目前,许多医学研究人员认为CER是提高医疗质量和降低医疗成本的一种潜在有力工具。然而,过去经典的疗效研究总是侧重于在完全受控的环境下将一种新干预措施与安慰剂进行比较。现在,CER转向在常规实践的现实世界中直接比较不同的干预措施。本文回顾了一系列关于CER设计、实施和分析的文献,以便为未来的中医研究人员提供线索。
