What stops us?

Limitation
Difficulty recruiting patients 1850 patients invited
1263 turned invitation down
Logistic complications 244 did not show up at the computer (in time)
146 only 1 administration
Subgroup results...
Lessons learned
Logistics is everything! RCT hampers clinical logistics
Replace by routine outcome monitor
But it might work… Quality of Life
Treatment policy

From empirical evidence
Logistics are an obstacle But somewhere out there is the future…
