Outcome Assessment in Clinical Trials of Fracture-Healing
Abstract
Although there are numerous methods for defining fracture-healing in clinical studies, no consensus exists regarding the most valid and reliable manner for assessing union or for determining which outcomes are most important. This article summarizes and describes methods for the clinical assessment of fracture-healing and reports results from a systematic review of prevalent definitions currently used in published clinical studies. Conventional radiography and ad hoc clinical definitions continue to be the most commonly used means of assessing fracture-healing in clinical studies. Investigators must improve upon and apply more rigorous outcome assessment in clinical trials, emphasize patient-important outcomes, and report factors that may bias estimated effects.

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.
