[Outline of the problem of indices of therapeutic efficacy. 4. Expression of efficacy when the underlying illness is incurable. Study Group for the Indices of Efficacy]
Abstract
In chronic illness, when death or a non-fatal event can occur at any time, the current efficacy indices are no longer appropriate to express the effect of the treatment on the potential therapeutic objectives. The inappropriateness is not dependent on the effect model. Clues for solutions are proposed.
