The Benefit-Risk Assessment tool provides a structured method to evaluate the balance between clinical benefits and associated risks. Users assign a Benefit Score (1-10), reflecting the extent of benefits, from minor to clinically significant, and a Risk Score (1-10), considering the severity and frequency of risks. The tool calculates the Benefit-Risk Ratio, where a higher ratio indicates a more favorable outcome. This streamlined approach supports healthcare professionals in making well-informed decisions, ensuring benefits outweigh potential risks. By quantifying these elements, the tool offers clarity and consistency for clinical evaluations, improving safety assessments and treatment planning.
Benefit-Risk Assessment
Instructions
- Benefit Score: Range from 1 (very minor benefit) to 10 (clinically major benefit).
- Risk Score: Range from 1 (minor risk, mild non-serious events) to 10 (major serious events at high frequency)
- Benefit-Risk Ratio: The higher the ratio, the more favorable the assessment.
