German term or phrase:
rechnerisch ausgeglichen
English translation:
statistically adjusted / or: when allowance was made for
German to English translations [PRO] Science - Mathematics & Statistics
German term or phrase:rechnerisch ausgeglichen
Context: clinical trial
"Allerdings waren die Studiengruppen bezüglich begleitender Risikofaktoren nicht ausgewogen verteilt, zum Nachteil der beiden Behandlungsgruppen. Eine logistische Regressionsanalyse ergab einen signifikanten Überlebensvorteil für die Patienten der SDD-Gruppe, wenn die Faktoren Alter > 65 Jahre und APACHE-Score > 20 rechnerisch ausgeglichen wurden."
What's the official math/statistics term for it?
Mathematically adjusted/corrected/evened out??? Or sth entirely different?
Thanks!
Explanation: Adjustment is a process used in statistics to correct for variation in other variables that you're not so interested in. See the stats glossary below to search on 'adjustment'.
The second link explains the process of statistical adjustment well.

Perhaps, when statistically adjusted to balance the factors.
Here's a bit from the second link:
... This time, they will tell you that the odds ratio has been statistically adjusted to incorporate the effect of patient condition at the time of surgery, and is now 1.14. In other words, there is a 14 per cent higher risk of dying post- surgery in Hospital B than in Hospital A after taking the health of patients into account.

If you were talking about it mathematically, you could say that the data was adjusted to remove these factors, but that would probably be a bit too mathematical here.

Sorry for all the notes. I meant to say that the data was adjusted to remove the effect of these factors, which means they're balanced out.
I think basically you've answered your own question ... I suggest "statistically" as an option
