title: System of Objectified Judgement Analysis (SOJA) as a tool in rational and transparent drug-decision making.
abstract: Drug selection should be a rational process that embraces the principles of evidence-based medicine. However, many factors may affect the choice of agent. It is against this background that the System of Objectified Judgement Analysis (SOJA) process for rational drug-selection was developed. This article describes how the information on which the SOJA process is based, was researched and processed.
