Compliance with treatment can be an important determinant of the outcome of clinical trials. To date there is no completely satisfactory method of measuring compliance and some of the most widely used methods are inadequate. The various methods of measuring compliance and how they have been applied to clinical trials are described, and improvements in the standard of the measurement and reporting of compliance in clinical trials are suggested.
治疗依从性可能是临床试验结果的一个重要决定因素。迄今为止,尚无完全令人满意的测量依从性的方法,一些最广泛使用的方法并不充分。本文描述了测量依从性的各种方法及其在临床试验中的应用方式,并提出了提高临床试验中依从性测量和报告标准的建议。
