ABSTRACT
One of the most important aspects of quaternary prevention is avoiding the exposure of the patients to unnecessary overtreatment. In this commentary we explain how a valid and reliable double blinded randomized controlled clinical trial (RCT) with a good external validity may help a physician to estimate the magnitude of unnecessary overtreatment.
