Should informed consent records be kept for patients who withdraw during the study?

  1. Yes

  2. No

  3. Only if the patient agrees

  4. Only for those who complete the study

The correct answer is: Yes

It is important for informed consent records to be kept for patients who withdraw during the study because it documents their initial agreement to participate in the study and ensures that their rights were respected. This can provide valuable information for the researchers and also protect them from any potential legal concerns. Keeping records only for those who complete the study would not accurately reflect the full sample size and could potentially bias the results. Similarly, relying on the patient's consent at the time of withdrawal could be problematic if the patient was not fully aware of the risks and benefits of the study. Therefore, the best course of action is to keep informed consent records for all patients, including those who withdraw during the study.
