Patient selection criteria

Patient selection criteria are the specific characteristics used to determine who is suitable for a particular medical treatment, procedure, or study. These criteria consider factors like age, health condition, medical history, and other relevant aspects to ensure the patient’s safety and the treatment’s effectiveness. The goal is to identify individuals for whom the intervention is most likely to benefit without undue risk. Proper selection helps optimize outcomes, minimize complications, and ensure the treatment is appropriate for each person’s unique situation.
