Development, appraisal and synthesis of complex interventions - a methodological challenge .

Author
Abstract
:

Many medical interventions are of a complex nature. They comprise interdependent components differently interacting within various complex settings, e.g., stroke units. Appraising the efficacy, benefit and harm of complex interventions is far more difficult than appraising single interventions like specific drug treatments. Detailed methodological procedures for the development, appraisal and synthesis of complex interventions are increasingly discussed internationally.
