Abstract

Any treatment implies a choice which should be based on the principles of decision making. Its overall aim is to get the maximum benefit with the minimum disadvantage, or at least a reasonable risk. In order to do so one must stick to a realistic aim, know the efficacy of the treatment, its side effects, if any, and what might result from either administration or non administration. All this makes up the evaluation of benefits and disadvantages and is based upon the severity of the disease. Accordingly, in a rational therapeutic approach, a suitable monitoring of the clinical and laboratory parameters useful for an estimate of the outcome of the treatment is almost compulsory. This policy requires a great deal of data, collected and estimated on a scientific basis, to be available, so that the key criteria of the treatment are as rational and effective as possible.
