Kimenetel

Kimenetel is a Hungarian noun meaning the outcome or end result of a process, event, or intervention. It is used across various contexts, but is particularly common in medical and research writing to denote what ultimately happens as a consequence of a treatment, study, or policy.

In medicine and clinical research, kimenetel refers to the endpoint or final state observed after an intervention. It conveys the status of a patient or population at the conclusion of a study or treatment, rather than intermediate measurements. The term is often paired with specific endpoints such as survival, remission, symptom relief, functional status, or the occurrence of complications.

The concept encompasses a range of possible states, from favorable outcomes to adverse ones, depending on the context and scope of the assessment. Kimenetel can be evaluated prospectively in trials or retrospectively in observational studies, and it may be designated as a primary or secondary endpoint in a study protocol. Reporting typically includes defined measurement criteria, follow-up duration, and methods for handling censored data.

Kimenetel is related to, but distinct from, broader terms such as eredmény (result) or végpont/end point. In Hungarian discourse, it emphasizes the final state reached after an intervention, providing a concise way to summarize what the intervention achieved.
