Patient Selection

Patient selection refers to the process of determining which individuals are most appropriate for a particular treatment or clinical trial. This involves assessing criteria such as age, medical history, and specific health conditions to ensure the safety and effectiveness of the intervention. Proper patient selection aims to match patients with therapies that are likely to benefit them while minimizing risks. It helps researchers and healthcare providers identify who can participate in studies or receive treatments, ensuring that results are relevant and applicable to the right groups of people.
