suivi

English translation: in the course of the study

GLOSSARY ENTRY (DERIVED FROM QUESTION BELOW)
French term or phrase:durant le suivi de l’étude
English translation:in the course of the study
Entered by: Drmanu49

French to English translations [PRO]
Medical - Medical (general)
French term or phrase: suivi
On observe une diminution de la proportion des patients qui modifient leur posologie durant le suivi de l’étude, avec des taux de mésusage de 33,09 % (= 92/278 ; DM = 391) à M6 et 35,04 % (= 82/234 ; DM = 323) à M12.

It looks to me like this is an increase, not a decrease, or am I missing something here? It appears that the source is incorrect here. I am interpreting "suivi" to mean monitoring here -- "follow-up" does not appear to fit here. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

testing/data collection period of the study


Explanation:
Hello,

Isn't the "suivi" of a study the period when testing/data collection is done -- not necessarily the interpretation of results, etc.

I hope this helps.
