English term or phrase: conservative
Hola, colegas:

¿Cómo están?

Estoy traduciendo la explicación y conclusión de un estudio clínico en el que se utilizaron ciertas medicinas para tratar el cáncer de mama/seno. En este caso, el texto habla de los resultados que se registraron al probar esos medicamentos en pacientes. Entonces, me aparece la siguiente oración:

"This analysis was not adjusted for crossover to the XX group and is therefore conservative".

El "crossover" es el método de prueba que se utiliza a veces para comprobar la eficacia de un fármaco. ¿Cómo puedo traducir "conservative" sin caer en "conservador"?

¡Gracias!

Explanation:
I googled 'métodos conservativos de análisis' and 'métodos conservadores de análisis'. The outcome is that both adjectives are used in Spanish language, as proven the attachments below:
