Clinical evaluation: analysing and discussing the results

Article Abstract:

It is vital that clinical evaluation is designed primarily to assess whether a specific treatment has brought about a change in a patient's condition. The first stage is to summarise and display the results in such a way that a visual inspection can be undertaken easily. It is also necessary to include a short descriptive text highlighting the main points shown by the visual data. Statistical analysis can be useful in cases where there is uncertainty in relation to change between the control and treatment groups.
