Zoology / animal welfare | | English term or phrase: surrogate endpoints | Morton 1999: "Humane Endpoints in Animal Experimentation for Biomedical Research" (...) when a high degree of suffering can be justified but there is no need to cause that level as earlier pre-lethal even pre-painful can predict a scientific endpoint - I have called these surrogate endpoints.
Humane endpoints se traducen habitualmente como "criterios de punto final" ¿sería correcto entonces traducir "surrogate endpoints" como "criterios de punto final sustitutivo (de los endpoints científicos)? |

Explanation:
Sucedáneo vs. sustituto:
http://forum.wordreference.com/showthread.php?t=1056220
Del RAE:
sucedáneo, a.
(Del lat. succedanĕus, sucesor, sustituto).
1. adj. Dicho de una sustancia: Que, por tener propiedades parecidas a las de otra, puede reemplazarla. U. m. c. s. m.
sustituto, ta.
(Del part. irreg. de sustituir).
1. m. y f. Persona que hace las veces de otra. U. t. c. adj.
2. m. y f. Der. Heredero o legatario designado para cuando falta la sucesión del nombrado con prioridad a él, o para suplir con causa legítima el nombramiento.
Since this is in reference to things/circumstances, not people (from my understanding) I would use "sucedáneos" instead of "sustitutos."

Asker: No estoy de acuerdo, "sucedaneo" se utiliza para sustancias (como sucedáneo de café o de chocolate), no encaja en esta situación
