Form follows function: pragmatic controlled trials (PCTs) have to answer different questions and require different designs than randomized controlled trials (RCTs).
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2013)
Aim Rising concern for demonstrated real world comparative
effectiveness has heightened interest in “pragmatic trials”
design. Pragmatic trials investigate whether the efficacy, presumed
or found in explanatory trials under ideal conditions,
can also be detected under real world conditions, i.e. effectiveness.
It is also recognized that ‘real world’ effects which
are usually addressed in public ...

Impact on continuity of care of decentralized versus partly centralized mental health care in Northern Norway

In Norway, inpatient admissions are mainly to take place locally, in a system of small bed-units that represent an alternative to traditional central psychiatric hospitals. This type of organization may be advantageous for accessibility and cooperation, but has been given little scientific attention.
To study ...
