Where there is conformity across the findings, interpretation and implications of 'clinical' and 'economic' research, there is limited cause for concern. However, there is often unease when apparent contradictory conclusions are drawn from the same study. Given the ever increasing role for economic evaluation in healthcare decision making, this commentary challenges the necessity of compatibility between clinical and economic evaluation.
如果“临床”和“经济”研究的结果、解释和影响一致,就没有什么值得关注的。但是,如果从同一研究中得出明显矛盾的结论,往往会让人感到不安。鉴于经济评估在医疗保健决策中的作用日益增加,本文评论质疑了临床和经济评估之间兼容性的必要性。
