Abstract
As evidence-based medicine has taken a forefront in medical practice, health care providers, patients, regulatory agencies, academic researchers, and pharmaceutical industry members have desired a more complete body of data relating to real-world clinical scenarios. Comparative-effectiveness research (CER) has taken the center stage on this issue in the last two decades as it compares different clinical and public health interventions to identify the ones that work best for improving health in different populations. CER has evolved through innovative methodology and unique public–private consortiums to enhance clinical and system-wide decision-making around the world.
