The independent Institute for Quality and Efficiency in Health Care (Institut für Qualität und Wirtschaftlichkeit im Gesundheitswesen, IQWiG) examines the benefits and harms of medical interventions for patients. We provide information about the advantages and disadvantages of examination and treatment methods in the form of scientific reports and easily understandable health information.

Observational data are increasingly being used for health technology assessment. But how reliable are such data? At IQWiG in Dialogue, current methodological approaches – including the use of propensity scores – and criteria for scientific validity were discussed in depth.
