Year: 2018
Type: report
Abstract: What was the research about?Comparative effectiveness research compares two or more treatments to see which one works better for which patients.Sometimes, groups of people respond differently to the same treatment.For example, women might, on average, receive more benefit from a treatment than men do.If researchers group women and men together when they analyze study data, they may miss this difference and overlook some of the benefits of a treatment.
