Adaptive case series
An adaptive case series is an observational study design that documents a consecutive group of patients with a shared condition or exposure while incorporating pre-specified rules for modifying data collection, monitoring, or stopping criteria as accumulating evidence warrants. It combines the descriptive richness of traditional case series with the prospective flexibility of adaptive design principles, enabling structured mid-course adjustments without compromising the integrity of the recorded clinical observations.
