AB  - Reports  of  randomized  clinical  trials  (RCTs)  frequently  refer  to  “dropouts”  from  the  study.  Unfortunately,  RCT  authors  may  be  referring  to  1  of  2  different  phenomena.  The  first  phenomenon  includes  study  participants  who  no  longer  comply  with  the  intervention  (typically  the  experimental  treatment  and  typically  a  drug)  but  who  are  willing  to  continue  with  follow-up  for  the  outcome  events  of  interest.  The  second  phenomenon  includes  study  participants  who,  for  a  number  of  possible  reasons  (eg,  moved  away  or  refused  further  participation),  are  no  longer  available  and  are  thus  lost  to  follow-up.
