Dutch translation:patiëntenkenmerken
Explanation:
Van Dale Groot Woordenboek noemt: aard
karakter, inslag, instelling, gewoonte, neiging.
Ik kan me voorstellen dat in jouw tekst kenmerken van de bevolking (demografie) en van patiënten worden bedoeld.

neutral  Kitty Brussaard: Alhoewel verdere context eigenlijk onontbeerlijk is (bijv. betreft het hier een klinische trial), lijkt dit het meest plausibel. Maar dan wel: patiëntkenmerken. En de hele zin: Nulmeting demografische en klinische patiëntkenmerken.

agree  Barend van Zadelhoff: ik denk even mee: disposition = gesteldheid - bij uitbreiding en in deze context "gezondheidstoestand/ gesteldheid waarin de patiënt bij aanvang wordt aangetroffen" -> ziektekenmerken patiënt / klinische patiëntkenmerken

patientenontslagbestemming


Explanation:
I think disposition here may mean "ontslagbestemming".

The term patient disposition seems to be used in the US Department of Defense

(It would be helpful to read more of the sentence)

Example sentence(s):
  • In het vijfde artikel werd de relatie tussen patiëntkenmerken (leeftijd, geslacht, traumatisch hersenletsel ernst, functionele uitkomst) en ontslagbestemming onderzocht
  • Patient disposition: The removal of a patient from a medical treatment facility by reason of return to duty, transfer to another treatment facility, death, or other termination of medical case.

In klinisch onderzoek wordt vaak gestart vanuit een nulmeting (baseline) van demografische en klinische patiëntkenmerken.

Note to reference poster
Asker: Meer context: bv. "patient disposition over the first 6 weeks", met daaronder een tabel waarin respons, uitval e.d. vermeld worden. Ik dacht zelf aan zoiets als "indeling van patienten", maar dan mooier gezegd:)


Peer comments on this reference comment (and responses from the reference poster)
agree  Ron Willems: yes, but perhaps with special reference to the remark by Dr Sue Levy in that KudoZ entry: "in the context of a clinical trial, this can also mean which treatment group the subject is in"...
56 mins
  -> Indeed Ron :-) However, further context is needed to decide which meaning applies in the given case.
agree  Barend van Zadelhoff: klinische patiëntkenmerken
5 hrs
  -> Thanks Barend :-) This might indeed be the correct translation, but asker's additional information seems to point in a different direction ....
