The Call for Progress in Evidence-Based Medicine

2025-01-24

Abstract excerpt

Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) are foundational in evidence-based medicine but are often limited by their reliance on controlled conditions and highly selective patient populations, which may not reflect real-world healthcare outcomes. This commentary highlights the value of pragmatic controlled trials (PCTs) as a complementary method for evaluating real-world effectiveness (RWE). By employing Bayesian statis...
