Description
Audit explicit research follow-up source support without imputing clinical endpoints.
Research lesion records distinguish measured dimensions, geometric size models, censoring conventions, assessment denominators, and follow-up timing. An axis product, percent change, or coverage measure describes only its stated inputs and model. Such arithmetic does not automatically implement a clinical response criterion or validate a study.
Audit explicit research follow-up source support without imputing clinical endpoints.
When to use this tool
Use Followup Source Support Share when you need this research measurement, assessment-base, source, or event-time calculation.
How to use the tool and how it works
- Enter supported, required. Keep parallel arrays aligned. Use the units and conventions below.
- Run the tool. Correct any format, range, or cross-field input error before interpreting the output.
- Read supportedRequired, requiredCount, share, defined. Inspect defined before interpreting the associated values.
Require aligned supported and required flags. Return requiredCount, supportedRequired, and share=supportedRequired/requiredCount when positive, otherwise zero with defined=false.1
| Input field | Meaning and units | Accepted input |
|---|---|---|
| supported | Supported | Required. Array of boolean; maximum items 256. |
| required | Required | Required. Array of boolean; maximum items 256. |
| Output field | Interpretation | Returned shape |
|---|---|---|
| supportedRequired | Supported Required | Required. Safe integer. |
| requiredCount | Required Count | Required. Safe integer. |
| share | Dimensionless share using the stated denominator, not a percentage numeral. | Required. Finite number. |
| defined | Whether the stated denominator or quantity is defined; inspect before using a placeholder. | Required. Boolean. |

}Limitations and assumptions
- Optional entries cannot improve support. The flags are supplied and a completeness share does not establish adequate follow-up, unbiased missingness, reliable sources, or a clinical outcome.
- Inputs must satisfy both the field types and the cross-field conditions above. Invalid input causes an error; a successful false flag or documented placeholder is a different result.
Alternative or Complementary methods
Use the intended study protocol and a complete measurement or analysis model for a broader conclusion. Verify lesion definitions, censoring, measurement correspondence, time anchors, and missing-assessment policy.
