Abstract
Clinical audit is the analysis of whether a predetermined standard of care is achieved over a given period of time. Evaluation of methods of care is an analysis of the benefits that might be expected to accrue from a particular method of treatment by statistical analysis of observations made on sample populations. The two activities have very different aims and approaches; they should not be confused.Keywords
