endpoint se refera la rezultatul final dar exclude moartea (din cate stiu de obicei se foloseste "endpoint or death")
Endpoint poate fi,de asemenea,si rezultatul final al unui tratament experimental dar nu cred ca este vorba de asta tinand cont de "risk"

Improving blood glucose control (with drug monotherapy) even by a reduction in HgA1c of 0.9% can reduce the risk of any diabetes related endpoint (including microvascular and macrovascular endpoints)
