Introducing economic and quality of life measurements into clinical studies
Open accessAbstract
Although the collection of cost and quality of life data alongside clinical studies generates detailed patient level data in a timely fashion, it also raises practical and methodological challenges. These include the fact that the settings and patients enrolled in trials may not be typical of those found in regular clinical practice, that costs and quality of life may be influenced by the trial protocol, that the clinical alternatives compared in trials may not be the most relevant for cost-effectiveness assessments, that the length of follow-up may be too short to observe changes in cost and quality of life, and that adding these data will increase the overall measurement burden in the trial. This paper discusses these challenges and the ways in which they might be overcome, focussing particularly on preference-based measures of quality of life. In particular, recommendations are given for choosing the range of quality of life instruments, sample size calculations for quality of life measurement and the measurement of quality of life in multinational studies.

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.
