Can someone say what is protocol deviation?
In what context? Clinical trials?
Google is your friend. Just visit the results of a search for "protocol deviation".
This is not a SAS related question. Refer your question to an appropriate forum.
As a brief overview, a Clinical Trial has to have a Protocol. The protocol describes all of the procedures, tests, data capture, reasoning etc. the encompasses everything in the trial. Once the trial is underway certain unavoidable or unintentional things may happen which means the actual event deviates from what it written in the protocol. This constitutes a Protocol Deviation. These deviations may be minor - leading to maybe small exclusions from the end product or major, leading to the whole subject data being excluded from analysis or from populations. Generally these feed directly into the Per Protocol Population.
