German term

Ausschöpfung

German to English Social Sciences Psychology therapy for anxiety disorders
This term appears only in a flow chart accompanying the article on this therapeutic trial.

1 Jahr nach Entlassung (1JK): n = 193 (Ausschöpfung 58,1%)
irgendeine Katamnese vorhanden: n = 249 (Ausschöpfung 75%)

My guess is that it means something like "retention," but I don't really understand it.
Proposed translations (English)
3 +1 response rate/completion rate
3 utilization rate

Discussion

Susan Welsh (asker) Sep 19, 2018:
more context It's about whether the person is still showing improved scores on the measurements instrumemts at the various follow-up measurement points. I think Johanna has nailed it.
philgoddard Sep 19, 2018:
I'm assuming n is the number of patients, and if my sums are right, there were 332. But it's hard to know what Ausschöpfung means without a bit more context about the trial.
What is the relevance of "one year after discharge" and "any catamnesis available"? Catamnesis is follow-up history.
"Utilisation" is a possibility.

Makes sense, thanks Johanna.
Peer comment(s):
agree philgoddard : Yes, I think you're probably right. I expect they sent out a follow-up questionnaire.

utilization rate

utilization rate: the percentage of respondents with whom an interview is conducted
of the total number of respondents selected
I agree that this is hard to grasp from the context. It could be said that the response rate is different from the utilization rate. It is a subset of the response rate.
Example sentence:

"Ganz allgemein definiert entspricht die Ausschöpfungsquote dem prozentualen Anteil der Befragten, mit denen ein Interview realisiert werden konnte, an der Gesamtzahl aller ausgewählten Befragten"

Thanks Elizabeth. You may be right, but I'm not sure it fits here.
