摘要

Sirs: I read with interest the article by Rio and co-workers that was recently published in your Journal . Clearly, as the authors point out, the major deficiency in the current therapeutic literature in multiple sclerosis (MS) is the lack of convincing long-term data. Thus, the longest available placebo-controlled data goes out to only 5 years of treatment , whereas the outcome of MS is well known to evolve over a considerably longer time-frame. Nevertheless, placebo-controlled trials of more than 2-3 years are impractical and possibly unethical. As a result, I fully agree with the authors' assertion that observational studies have certain distinct advantages over controlled trials by potentially providing data on the behavior of large patient cohorts followed for extended treatment periods. Indeed, it seems clear that the use of such non-experimental observational data will become increasingly important in the future. However, these potential advantages of observational data can only be realized ifthe cohort-size is quite large and the observation interval is quite long relative to randomized trials, and if the observational data are analyzed in an appropriate manner (which can often be quite complicated).
