agree  liz askew: two years' follow-up
30 mins
  -> Thank you Liz.

agree  philgoddard: Yes, any of your suggestions would work. "Recul" just means " with the passing of time". http://dictionary.reverso.net/french-english/recul
38 mins
  -> Thank you Phil.

neutral  Daryo: I could bet that if you had the WHOLE sentence (what a silly idea to expect that, apparently ...) it would show that you have to wait 2 years before evaluating the results of the intervention.// like "survival" counts only after 5 years ...
2 hrs
  -> Not if a retrospective study, but more context is needed.

neutral  Lorraine Dubuc: I think Daryo is right and this is my interpretation of it as well. 'Retrospective' we talk about the same thing.
2 hrs
  -> Well I think you are wrong this is a restrospective study and it corresponds to inclusion criteria.

‘global outcome after surgery (categorized as “helped a lot,” “helped,”
“helped a little,” “no change,” “made things worse”); and
whether, in hindsight, the same decision would be made to
undergo surgery (yes, no).’

agree  Nikki Scott-Despaigne: This seems to be a good fit for the context. They need two years' hindsight in order to assess whatever it is they are working on.
