Does anyone know when the phrase "intent-to-treat" or "intention-to-
treat" was first used in the context of clinical trials?
I've found it referred to in medical research papers in the late 70s
but not managed to find where it was first defined.
I'll summarise any replies I get to the list.
Thanks, Liz
