terveystulokset

Terveystulokset is a Finnish term that translates to "health results" or "health outcomes" in English. It broadly refers to the observable effects and consequences of an individual's or a population's health status, as well as the results of interventions, treatments, or policies aimed at improving health.

In a clinical context, terveystulokset often pertain to the outcomes of medical treatments or diagnostic procedures. This can include measures like recovery rates, symptom improvement, reduction in disease progression, or the absence of complications. For example, a patient's terveystulokset after surgery would describe how well they have recovered and whether their condition has improved.

On a broader public health level, terveystulokset can encompass statistical data and indicators that reflect the health of a population. These might include life expectancy, infant mortality rates, prevalence of chronic diseases, or the impact of public health campaigns on disease prevention. Policy decisions and health system reforms are often evaluated based on their terveystulokset. The term emphasizes the measurable and observable aspects of health and its determinants.
