IN THE MARGIN

A note on reading the evidence.

Put a starting point and an ending point beside any result you want to discuss. If a claim uses words such as lasting or sustained, look for observations covering the period those words imply. A result at the last scheduled visit would answer a different question from a result measured after a later change in treatment. Your reading note can keep those periods separate without guessing what happened between them. This gives a care team a precise question about time, rather than a broad request to confirm that a result will last.

TAKE THESE WITH YOU

Questions to open a conversation.

  1. When does the observation period behind this claim begin and end?
  2. Does the wording suggest a longer period than the measurements cover?
  3. What later observations would help answer the question about lasting results?
