Spanish term or phrase: apertura del ciego
Buenas tardes.

Es un algoritmo del diseño de un estudio. Significa que en un momento se reveló qué pacientes recibieron droga activa o placebo, pero no encuentro una manera sintética de decirlo. En una oración más extensa lo diría como "after the blinding was revealed", pero no se me ocurre otra cosa.

Población total ambulatoria del laboratorio de insuficiencia cardíaca
Pacientes con criterio de inclusión
Primera caminata de 6 minutos
Aleatorización
Sildenafil / placebo
Apertura del ciego

Muchas gracias.

Very, very strictly speaking, apertura del ciego = unblinding

and desenmascaramiento = unmasking

although from the last reference provided they are synonynous.l

unmasking


Explanation:
In a blind (or double-blind) study when the drug names are disclosed to the subjects and doctors, it is called "unmasking".

"desenmascarar" en castellano

Example sentence(s):
  • Having ‘inactive’ placebos can effectively unmask the blinding of an experiment

  -> Thank you, Ines.

agree  fvasconcellos: Never really became as established as "blinding/unblinding", but some (especially older) authors still do insist on "mask" and variations thereof as more accurate and more PC.

  -> Thank you. I still see it quite a bit. I guess I thought of it first because I am "older".
