it should be:

patients étant perdus de vue

In that case, the translation of the German article is incorrect, if everybody thinks this is patients lost to follow-up.

d'accord avec vous pour la seconde option

Patient mortality or death rate would be used. Loss is directly linked to lost to follow-up IMHO. Especially with"patient loss during the follow-up period".

Any references I have found with the German translate this as "patient loss" i.e. patient deaths.

Strategies to reduce patients lost to follow-up

and

Strategies to reduce patient loss during the follow-up period

have two separate meanings

the latter one means patients who die during the follow-up period.


The former is self-explanatory.

So perhaps the original German text gives the clue?

I found this earlier:

Ah! It occurs to me now that this could be a mistranslation if the original article was actually written in German.

Mais le contexte (les données que nous n'avons pas) devrait vous aider à trancher. Mais j'avoue que j'ai pensé à la seconde option avant même d'ouvrir l'email
