Abstract
Outcomes research using analysis of preexisting data is a relatively new fi eld with the potential to improve the quality and effectiveness of medical care, and may provide a useful complement to randomized studies, Motivated by the growth of this research in the cardiovascular literature, this revie w offers a framework to identify the core concepts of outcomes research fro m database analyses by comparing and contrasting it with the randomized cli nical trial.
