Integrating health-related quality of life findings from randomized clinical trials into practice: an international study of oncologists' perspectives

摘要

Although health-related quality of life (HRQL) is increasingly assessed in randomized controlled trials (RCTs), HRQL findings are not always incorporated into clinical decision making. We examined the current perspectives of oncologists on the use of HRQL findings from RCTs, and variation of these perspectives between countries and specialties.
