Preferred term

intent-to-treat analysis  

Definition

  • Intent-to-treat analysis (ITT) requires that all study subjects be included in outcome analyses in the study condition in which they were assigned, or were intended to be treated, regardless of actual treatment or adherence to the research protocol. After being assigned to a study condition, subjects may not actually use the treatment or intervention, may use less than intended doses, may drop out from the research program and therefore have indeterminate outcomes, or may even cross over between study conditions.
