Votes to reclassify question as PRO/non-PRO:

Non-PRO (1): Domaikia

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

Yes, there's no point in our suggesting answers until you do this.

Full context in French is required for this to be answered properly, i.e. a few sentences of French context. Thank you!

good definition at 1.12
I.12 Peut-on substituer au groupe contrôle une autre forme de comparaison ?
L’exemple de la comparaison de type historique
Si dans un essai clinique, la constitution d’un groupe contrôle est une obligation méthodologique,
cette obligation peut être jugée pénalisante pour l’investigateur. Un groupe contrôle demande
d’inclure un nombre de patients égal à celui du groupe traité or la recherche des patients « bons
pour l’essai » est toujours un souci majeur pour l’investigateur. Par ailleurs, dans les conditions de
bonne méthodologie que nous exposerons plus loin, le groupe contrôle doit recevoir la stratégie
thérapeutique de référence voire un placebo, au mieux en double insu (aveugle), ce qui implique
un conditionnement des médicaments particulier (traitement actif et placebo ne doivent pas être
discernables). La logistique de l’essai n’en est alors que plus lourde.
****Le choix peut être alors de se positionner dans l’attitude pragmatique de la comparaison historique.
Schématiquement, on énonce que la maladie M était constamment mortelle, un an, dix ans ou
cinquante ans avant l’avènement d’une thérapeutique T qui semble efficace***. La thérapeutique T
est apparemment un traitement logique de la maladie M. Dans cette logique, on va comparer
l’évolution des malades avec le médicament testé à cette même évolution lorsqu’on ne disposait
pas du médicament en question. Le biais de cette comparaison est que l’évolution de la maladie
est modulée par des facteurs environnementaux qui pouvaient être présents antérieurement mais
qui se sont modifiés.

I agree with Liz and phil RE more context ...
Peer comment(s):

agree Harald Moelzer (medical-translator) : literal translation seems most appropriate given the lack of context
