CER is the generation and synthesis of evidence that compares the benefits and harms

of alternative methods to prevent, diagnosis, treat and monitor a clinical condition or to

improve the delivery of care. The purpose of CER is to assist consumers, clinicians,

purchasers, and policy makers to make informed decisions that will improve health care at both

the individual and population level.

Causality—Bradford Hill Criteria • Strength • Consistency • Specificity • Temporality • Biological gradient • Plausibility • Coherence • Experimental evidence • Analogy

Rothman, Am J Public Health, 2005

Patient-centered outcomes research (PCOR)

• CER with the patient’s voice as a centerpiece

• Stakeholder engagement

Selby, JAMA, 2012

Patient-centered outcome

• Health-related outcomes that are important to patients

Cykert, CHEST, 2000

Patient-reported outcome (PRO)

• An outcome that only the patient can report

Teeter, CHEST, 1998

PRO

• Concepts and domains • Instruments • Disease-specific versus generic • Validity • Reliability • Responsiveness • Cultural/language adaptation
