What Is Lost To Follow Up In Clinical Research?
In clinical trials, a lost to follow up (LTFU) case occurs when a patient cannot be contacted or monitored after enrollment. These cases often arise due to relocation, loss of contact, or a decision to withdraw without notice. Failing to trace these individuals risks data gaps, delays, and compromised study outcomes.
