Status

This dimension marks whether a medical treatment is still in standard use, considered obsolete or still experimental. Wikipedia notes that "not all therapies are effective" and that "many therapies can produce unwanted adverse effects," both reasons a treatment's standing can change over time. Browsing by status separates treatments still in current use from those no longer recommended.
