klinikkakohtaisia

Klinikkakohtaisia is a Finnish adjective meaning clinic-specific or pertaining to a particular clinic. It is formed by combining klinikka (clinic) and kohtainen (pertaining to). The base form is klinikkakohtainen; the noun phrase can appear in various inflections, for example klinikkakohtaiset (nominative plural) and klinikkakohtaisia (partitive plural), depending on the sentence.

In usage, klinikkakohtaisia describes data, outcomes, guidelines, or characteristics that are specific to individual clinics or that vary between clinics. In health services research, epidemiology, or multicenter studies, the term helps to indicate that the unit of analysis or the source of variation is the clinic rather than the patient as a whole. It often appears when reporting differences across clinics or when emphasizing clinic-level factors in analysis and interpretation.

Typical contexts include phrases such as klinikkakohtaisia eroavaisuuksia (clinic-specific differences), klinikkakohtaisia käytäntöjä (clinic-specific practices), or klinikkakohtainen analyysi (clinic-level analysis). Using the term signals that findings may not be directly generalizable beyond the studied clinics without accounting for clinic-level variation.

Etymology and form: klinikkakohtaisia is a compound formed from klinikka and kohtainen, reflecting a common Finnish approach to creating domain-specific adjectives in professional and scientific language. The concept is closely related to, but distinct from, broader clinical or population-level descriptions.
