Full economic evaluations are the comparative analysis of alternative courses of action in terms of both costs (resource use) and consequences (outcomes, effects: (Drummond et al. 1997).
9. Are all important and relevant costs and consequences (outcomes), including adverse effects for each alternative identified?
To help decision-makers assess policies with a wide array of consequences, outcomes are often converted into comparable formats.
Other consequences (outcomes) will be described in relation to cost or use profiles (e.g., ranges of the Roland Morris Disability Questionnaire, pain numeric rating scale measures, categories of medication use, imaging or other diagnostic testing, and other provider use).
Is there a statistically significant difference in mortality rates of patients from CON GPs and CAM GPs? Full economic evaluations compare the costs (resource use) associated with one or more alternative interventions (e.g., intervention X vs. comparator Y) with their consequences (outcomes, effects).

To respond to the diversity and complexity of practice and its consequences, outcome research in general practice must take on many shapes.
Process variables measure the intensity of the disease process, which, if sustained for a sufficiently long time, ultimately leads to irreversible consequences (outcome).
The illness concept, with its description (definition), clinical symptoms, signs and laboratory tests (criteria), and consequences (outcome), inform clinical reasoning and diagnosis.
Attitudes towards the behaviour are proposed to arise from a combination of beliefs about its consequences (behavioural beliefs – conceptually similar to outcome expectancies in social cognitive theory) and evaluations of those consequences (outcome evaluations).
Consequences (outcome measures as described above under patient and carer data) and net costs (cost of intervention minus cost savings produced by the intervention) will be tabulated to allow analysis of incremental cost per net change for each outcome.
As I mentioned last week, Robert Socolow has contributed "High-consequence outcomes and internal disagreements: tell us more, please".
