Järgitulemuste

Järgitulemuste is a term encountered in Estonian-language academic writing. It is the genitive plural form of järgitulemus, or a compound derived from järgi- (following, subsequent) and tulemus (result). The phrase translates roughly to "of the follow-up results" and is used to refer to results that are obtained in a subsequent phase of a study, after an initial analysis or intervention.

In practice, järgitulemuste appears in sections describing longitudinal or follow-up components of research: clinical trials, cohort studies, program evaluations, and educational assessments. It signals not the primary outcomes, but the results observed after time or additional steps have passed. The term helps distinguish between initial findings and later, post-intervention outcomes within a single study design.

Translations and usage notes: the term is commonly rendered in English as "follow-up results" or "subsequent results." Common collocations include järgitulemuste analüüs ("analysis of the follow-up results"), järgitulemuste andmed ("data of the follow-up results"), and järgitulemuste tulemused ("follow-up outcomes"). Because Estonian uses case endings, the exact form may vary to fit grammatical role in a sentence.

See also: tulemus (result), tulemused (results), järk- (subsequent, following) prefixes in Estonian. In non-Estonian contexts, care should be taken to translate the concept according to the study design, as follow-up results can refer to time-based, intervention-based, or sequential outcomes.
