Continuous endpoint

« Back to Glossary Index

A measurement, often expressed in numbers, collected in a clinical trial that represents a specific variable. Unlike binary endpoints which are expressed by ‘yes’ or ‘no’ (e.g. ‘survived’ against ‘dead’), continuous endpoints are expressed by measurement on a continuum of possible values over time (e.g. blood pressure or months of survival).
