Baseline Assessments
« Back to Glossary Index
Baseline assessments are carried out with participants as they enter a trial and before they receive any treatment.
These assessments may take the form of interviews, questionnaires, physical examinations, laboratory tests, or other procedures. Baseline assessments include demographics (such as age, gender), patient characteristics (such as height, weight, blood pressure), and measurements specific to the study (such as disease characteristics or previous treatment).
