Drugs belonging to the same class may have both great similarities and significant differences. This is demonstrated by the example of different classes of drugs (beta-blockers, angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors, and new oral anticoagulants). The choice of the most effective (from the standpoint of evidence-based medicine) is impossible if there are no direct comparisons in randomized controlled studies between drugs of the same class that have demonstrated their effectiveness separately. Analysis of observational studies (large databases, registers) to identify the most effective drug in a class cannot be used to solve the problem of the superiority of a drug within a class.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p>В статье рассматривается вопрос о возможности выбора наиболее эффективного препарата внутри одного класса с позиций доказательной медицины. На примере разных классов препаратов (бета-адреноблокаторов, ингибиторов ангиотензинпревращающего фермента, новых оральных антикоагулянтов) демонстрируется, что препараты, относящиеся к одному и тому же классу, могут иметь как большое сходство, так и существенные различия. При отсутствии прямых сравнений в виде рандомизированных контролируемых исследований между препаратами - представителями одного класса, продемонстрировавших по отдельности свою эффективность, выбор наиболее эффективного с позиций доказательной медицины практически невозможен. Анализ наблюдательных исследований - крупных баз данных, регистров для выявления наиболее эффективного препарата в классе не может использоваться для решения проблемы первенства того или иного препарата внутри класса.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>класс-эффект препаратов</kwd><kwd>рандомизированные контролируемые исследования</kwd><kwd>проблемы выбора препарата внутри класса</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>class effect</kwd><kwd>randomized controlled studies</kwd><kwd>problems of drug choice within the same class</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group><funding-statement xml:lang="ru">БАЙЕР, АО</funding-statement><funding-statement xml:lang="en">Bayer Company</funding-statement></funding-group></article-meta></front><back><ref-list><title>References</title><ref id="cit1"><label>1</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="ru">Collins R., MacMahon M.
