摘要
Although cost-effectiveness research has assumed a critical role in decision making in medicine, it, by definition, must be derived from solid, germane, reproducible data. The absence of such high-quality data tends to induce compromises in analysis that may degrade a scientific article's seemingly intuitive message.
