Composite Endpoints

Composite endpoints are combined measurements used in medical studies to assess the effectiveness of a treatment. Instead of looking at just one outcome, researchers group together several related events—such as death, heart attack, or stroke—into a single measure. This approach provides a broader view of how well a treatment works and can help determine its overall benefit or risk. By capturing multiple important outcomes, composite endpoints can improve the efficiency of studies and offer a more comprehensive assessment of patient health during treatment.
