Given the increasing interest in the economics of health care, the incorporation of economic analysis in clinical trials is more often being considered, both by medical researchers and by research funding bodies. This article proposes criteria for judging the appropriateness of including economic analysis in a given trial, suggests how that analysis could be phased in order to minimize the work involved, and discusses the wider implications for medical research of more frequent attention to economic concepts.
鉴于对医疗保健经济学的兴趣与日俱增，医学研究人员和研究资助机构越来越多地考虑在临床试验中纳入经济分析。本文提出了判断在特定试验中纳入经济分析是否恰当的标准，建议了如何分阶段进行该分析以尽量减少相关工作量，并讨论了更频繁关注经济概念对医学研究的更广泛影响。
