Three key factors for converting efficacy into effectiveness concern treatment coverage in the target population (i.e. what proportion of the total population in need are actually exposed to the intervention), and for those receiving the intervention, both the rate of response to the treatment regimen and the adherence to the treatment.
Indicators considered were the proportion of patients treated using opioids compared to the total estimated in need of treatment (rate of effectiveness) and the proportion of patients potentially requiring opioids but not treated who were incorporated into the treatment group (rate of improvement).
If we take this reference as valid, the efficiency of pain treatment for a cohort of cancer patients can be estimated by calculating the proportion of patients receiving opioid treatment in relation to the total calculated number in need.
Higher correlations were found in "unmet needs", "total needs" and "formal help needed" in both users and staff ratings (Table 5).
