Retention

In Running the trial

Retention is keeping enrolled participants engaged in a trial until they complete it. It depends on practical things (appointment flexibility, travel reimbursement, clear communication) as much as on clinical care. Good retention protects the analysis, because every participant who drops out takes information with them.
