Glossary Patient Selection

process of choosing suitable individuals for medical treatment

Patient selection refers to the process of identifying and choosing individuals who are most suitable for a particular medical treatment or clinical trial. This involves evaluating various factors such as the patient's medical history, current health status, and specific characteristics of their condition to ensure that the treatment is likely to be safe and effective for them. For example, in a clinical trial for a new alopecia treatment, researchers would select patients who meet specific criteria related to their type and severity of hair loss.
