Economic Analysis Alongside Clinical Trials: Revisiting the Methodological Issues
Abstract
Controlled clinical trials are recognized as the best source of data on the efficacy of health care interventions and technologies. Because economic evaluation is dependent on the quality of the underlying medical evidence, clinical trials have increasingly been viewed as a natural vehicle for economic analysis. However, the closer integration of economic and clinical research raises many methodological issues. This paper discusses these issues in trial design, collection of resource use data, collection of outcome data, and interpretation and extrapolation of results. Some guidelines are suggested for economic analysts wishing to undertake evaluations alongside clinical trials.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
