signs or sintoms at the beginning of the study Explanation: In this context "baseline" means at the beginning of the study. BASELINE: 1) Information gathered at the beginning of a study from which variations found in the study are measured. 2) A known value or quantity with which an unknown is compared when measured or assessed. 3) The initial time point in a clinical trial, just before a participant starts to receive the experimental treatment which is being tested. At this reference point, measurable values such as CD4 count are recorded. Safety and efficacy of a drug are often determined by monitoring changes from the baseline values.

signes ou symptômes à l'entrée dans l'étude Explanation: baseline refers to the initial clinical examination.evaluation prior the start of the treatment, or at the evaluation made when the patients were "included" in the study, depending on the study design. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 18 mins (2004-03-26 06:36:58 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Ooops I mixed up the \"pairs\" as usual... however, the explanation is still correct!... |
