INCLUSION AND EXCLUSION CRITERIA IN CLINICAL RESEARCH | FCPS | TOACS | MCPS | @rahat2021

Inclusion and exclusion criteria are essential components of the study design. They are used to define the specific characteristics and attributes that potential participants must have (inclusion criteria) or must not have (exclusion criteria) in order to be eligible for enrollment in a clinical trial or research study. These criteria are crucial for ensuring that the study population is appropriately selected and that the results are meaningful and applicable to the target population. Here is a detailed explanation of inclusion and exclusion criteria:
Inclusion and exclusion criteria are established with careful consideration of the study's objectives, ethical considerations, and scientific rigor. They help ensure that the study's findings are applicable to the intended target population and that the results are as valid and reliable as possible. However, it's essential for researchers to strike a balance, as overly restrictive criteria can limit the generalizability of study findings to a broader population. The process of defining these criteria requires a thorough understanding of the research question, medical conditions, and the potential implications of each criterion.
