Eleven expert papers on various methods for assessing outcomes, especially those associated with new technical methods in diagnosis or treatment. Papers most likely to interest clinicians who do not have a mathematical background are Mulley's on decision analysis in assessing outcomes with clinical innovations and Thacker's on meta-analysis. Most of the other papers will appeal to third-party payers and policymakers in government.
