Medical - Medical: Pharmaceuticals / Klinische Studie

English term or phrase: median follow-up

Table outlining the results of the clinical trial. Column headers as follows: Outcome, Comparative risks, Dose (ml), Number of participants, Median follow-up. The figures under this header range from 23 months to 3 years. A 10-year follow-up was also mentioned earlier in the document (which I translated as 10-jährige Nachuntersuchung). I just cannot seem to find an easy way out of this one. Would "Zwischenuntersuchung" work in this context?

Nachbeobachtungsdauer (Median[wert])

Explanation:

Median gibt es im Deutschen nur als Nomen, nicht als Adjektiv (zumindest nicht im Sinne des englischen Statistikbegriffs, sondern nur als anatomische Positionsangabe) - siehe Duden:

Mediane Verlaufskontrolle

Explanation:
Der Median ist genauer als der Mittelwert und ein Follow-Up in einer klinischen Studie ist die Verlaufskontrolle

Ja, auch bei einem derart langen Zeitraum - der Ausdruck wird spezielle für klinische Studien gebraucht, auch für Longitudinalstudien

Notes to answerer

Asker: Danke Sibylle! Normalerweise würde ich "follow-up" auch als Verlaufskontrolle übersetzen, aber 10-Jahres-Verlaufskontrolle?
