Abstract:
It is clinically important to evaluate the safety and efficacy of Kampo prescriptions in long-term treatment cases. One practical method for this issue is to evaluate the incidence rates of events in long-term treatment cases. This paper gives an outline of this method and describes a statistical approach for evaluating the incidence rates of events.
