Description
The analysis of clinical significance is helpful to decide if an intervention leads to practically relevant or meaningful changes for individual patients which is clearly different
from the analysis of statistical significance. However, the framework is used rarely and
inconsistently. We introduce the R package clinicalsignificance to harness the use of clinical significance analysis of intervention trials in clinical research. This package provides
all relevant methods to calculate and present analyses of clinical significance in a consistent form and easy to use implementation. Despite its shortcomings, clinical significance
analyses are a valuable tool to gain more insight into intended and potential unintended
intervention effects and they may improve the interpretation and comparability of intervention trial results. Lastly, analyses of clinical significance may guide researchers and
policy makers in determining which interventions are clinically effective.
