Serien

German to English Medical Mathematics & Statistics abstract for medical journal
It occurs several times in a medical report. I know it has something to do with the statistical evaluation, but I don't know if I can use series.

...haben die *kleinen Serien* zusammengefasst. (small series???)
Keine andere *Serie* weist... auf.


Or can I just say study/studies?
Proposed translations (English)
3 studies
3 trial series?

In statistics, you have "series", for example "time series". There are also series in medicine (but you also have sequence, set, or succession.) A bit more information (context) would help.

studies

"Serien" refers to the groups or samples which are "serially" examined in a study. You could use "samples" or just refer to the "studies", because "a small study" means "a small sample size".

4 KudoZ points awarded for this answer. Comment: "Thanks to both of you.
