Patient benefit is used to assess the efficacy and feasibility of medical treatments. To assess patient benefit, a clear understanding of the patient's health prior to and after a procedure, treatment, or intervention is compared. Treatments which generate a patient benefit, with minimal or acceptable risks, may be approved for further clinical use.
