Treatment outcomes can be measured using a variety of methods, including:
Clinical Trials: These are carefully designed studies that test the efficacy and safety of new treatments under controlled conditions. Observational Studies: These studies observe the effects of treatments in real-world settings, often providing more generalizable data. Patient-Reported Outcomes: These are measures of a patient's health status or health-related quality of life directly reported by the patient. Biomarkers: Biological markers that can provide objective measures of treatment effects. Health Economic Evaluations: These assessments consider both the cost and effectiveness of treatments, providing a comprehensive view of their value.
