Incidence in Controlled Clinical
Trials:The prescriber should be aware that the figures in the tables
following cannot be used to predict the incidence of side effects in the course
of usual medical practice where patient characteristics and other factors differ
from those that prevailed in the clinical trials. Similarly, the cited
frequencies cannot be compared with figures obtained from other clinical
investigations involving different treatments, uses, and investigators. The
cited figures, however, do provide the prescribing physician with some basis for
estimating the relative contribution of drug and nondrug factors to the side
effect incidence rate in the populations studied.
