• C: Comparison (a placebo or “business as usual” such as no disease, absence of risk factor, or prognostic factor B)
• O: Outcome (risk of disease, accuracy of a diagnosis, rate of occurrence of adverse outcome)
• T: Time (the time it takes to demonstrate an outcome; e.g., the time it takes for the intervention to achieve an outcome or how long participants are observed)
