چکیده
According to the Agency for Health Care Research and Quality, “comparative effectiveness research is designed to inform health-care decisions by providing evidence on the effectiveness, benefits, and harms of different treatment options” (1). The data derived from clinical registries play an important role in assessing the effectiveness and appropriateness of various treatments, and their use is likely to grow in light of the increasing focus on assessing and improving healthcare delivery and performing comparative effectiveness studies. Such clinical registries capture data that reflect “real-world” clinical practice in large patient populations (2).
