Book Description

Publication Date: December 1997 | ISBN-10: 0397518455 | ISBN-13: 978-0397518456

Quality of Life & Pharmacoeconomics: An Introduction will familiarize students, clinicians, and researchers with the key principles and methods of quality-of-life and cost-effectiveness assessment in clinical trials. The book is based on abstracted material from the Second Edition of Dr. Spilker's definitive reference, Quality of Life and Pharmacoeconomics in Clinical Trials (1996). The material has been edited, condensed, and streamlined to provide a broad overview of approaches to quality-of-life assessment, evaluations of outcomes, and pharmacoeconomic methods. The integration of these three areas is one of the most valuable features of this introduction. Quality of Life & Pharmacoeconomics: An Introduction is divided into seven sections: introduction; social and psychological assessment; selected tests for quality-of-life assessment; reported methodology; special populations and specific diseases; utilities and outcomes; and pharmacoeconomics. Each section summarizes the crucial issues and provides selected references
