Inclusion criteria
|
|
Inclusion criteriaThe criteria that prospective subjects must meet to be eligible for participation in a study. See also exclusion criteria, admission criteria.
RELATED TERMS--------------------------------------
Admission
Entry. As a patient admission (into a hospital). The opposite of admission in this context is discharge.
SIMILAR TERMS--------------------------------------
Inclusion paraphilia
One of the paraphilias in which an extraneous element becomes developmentally incorporated into the lovemap, thus changing it from normophilic to paraphilic.
PREVIOUS AND NEXT TERMS--------------------------------------
Intraventricular
Injection into a ventricle.
Irradiation
Treatment by ionizing radiation, such as x-rays, or radioactive sources such as radioactive iodine seeds. See radiation therapy.
Intern
A medical doctor who has completed medical school and is in the first year of additional training.
Immunoassay
Detection and assay of substances by serological (immunological) methods; in most applications the substance in question serves as antigen, both in antibody production and in measurement of antibody by the test substance.
Impairment
A defect in organ function or whole body system, which may be temporary or permanent (eg. hemiplegia).
Inclusion criteria
Independent Data Monitoring Committee (IDMC)
An independent committee that may be established by the study investigators to assess at intervals the progress of a ongoing blinded clinical trial, the safety data, and the critical efficacy endpoints, and to recommend whether to continue, modify or stop a trial. See also Data and Safety Monitoring Board, Monitoring Committee, Data Monitoring.
Institution (medical)
Any public or private entity or agency or medical or dental facility where clinical trials are conducted.
Instrumental activities of daily living (IADL)
Activities that are essential if a person is to live independently, eg. use of a telephone or public transportation, housework, cooking, financial management. See also activities of daily living (ADLs).
Intention-to-treat principle
The principle that asserts that the effect of a treatment policy can be best assessed by evaluating, on the basis of the intention to treat a subject (that is, the planned treatment regimen) rather than the actual treatment given. It has the consequence that subjects allocated to a treatment group should be followed up, assessed and analysed as members of that group irrespective of their compliance to the planned course of treatment.
Interaction (qualitative and quantitative)
The situation in which a treatment contrast (for example, difference between investigational product and control) is dependent on another factor (for example, centre). A quantitative interaction refers to the case where the magnitude of the contrast differs at the different levels of the factor, whereas for a qualitative interaction the direction of the contrast differs for at least one level of the factor.
