Talk:Lost to follow-up

Naming
Is it loss to follow up or lost to follow up? -- Abhijeet Safai (talk) 05:32, 7 March 2014 (UTC)


 * It can be either:
 * "loss" is a noun, for talking about the situation — e.g. "The loss of 7 patients to follow-up was within the expected parameters of the study."
 * "lost" is a verb (in past tense), for talking about the action — e.g. "The study lost 7 patients to follow-up."
 * N.B., other tenses of the verb are also valid — e.g. "The study is losing patients to follow-up at a rate of 7 per month." or "It is predicted that the study will lose 5 to 20 patients to follow-up."

 * Note also that alternative prepositions would also be valid, even though they may be less common in the jargon.
 * Examples could include "lost from follow-up" and "lost for follow-up", as well as "lost by the follow-up stage", "lost before the follow-up stage", "lost in the follow-up stage" and so on.
