Clinical Outcomes

Meaning

Clinical Outcomes are the quantifiable, measurable changes in an individual’s health status, functional capacity, or quality of life that occur as a direct result of a medical intervention, therapeutic regimen, or health initiative. These metrics serve as the definitive evidence base in clinical practice, moving beyond surrogate laboratory markers to focus on tangible, patient-relevant benefit and overall therapeutic success. They are the ultimate arbiter of a treatment’s efficacy and safety profile.
