摘要
In many clinical studies it is important to examine whether or not the effect of the treatment varies across patient subgroupsTM.For example,does the effect of treatment for depression with a specific SSRI vary by gender?In other words,is there'heterogeneity of treatment effects'(HTE)?This information is important for clinical decision-making,clinicians can target a specific treatment to patients who are expected to benefit most from the treatment and seek alternative treatments for patients who are expected to benefit least from the treatment.
