The Ethics of Single Blind Trials
double-blind, placebo-controlled trials have been extensively discussed in the medical literature.' By contrast, the ethical issues associated with singleblind, placebo-controlled trials have received relatively little attention.2 Single-blind trials raise many of the same ethical issues as do double-blind trials, but also raise some unique issues related to the blinding of research subjects but not investigators to treatment assignment. In this …
A Cost-Effectiveness Analysis of Amniocentesis and Chorionic Villus Sampling for Prenatal Genetic Testing
Amniocentesis and chorionic villus sampling are tests for the prenatal diagnosis of cytogenetic abnormalities. We calculated the incremental costs per abnormal birth averted, and the incremental costs per quality-adjusted outcome, of amniocentesis and chorionic villus sampling performed for the indication of maternal age. Probabilities were obtained from the literature, and direct medical costs from hospital charges deflated to reflect aggregated…
