DefinitionThis section has been translated automatically.

In a "non-interventional study", in contrast to an interventional study, there are no interventions, but only documentation of treatments that are carried out without any changes by the study.

General informationThis section has been translated automatically.

Non-interventional studies can be designed as cohort studies, case-control studies or cross-sectional studies. Non-interventional studies have a high external validity ("real life") and provide information about the actual results of therapies. Non-interventional studies can be prospective or retrospective.
