agree

Textpertise: Also OK but I prefer Michael's answer. I feel that, despite the tone of the source, 'completers' is too informal. Just personal preference though. Besides, this is one of the answers already provided by Michael in his answer so it is covered there.

Abstract
Introduction: The aim of this study was to compare the characteristics of patients who completed (completers) inpatient treatment of drug dependence with those who failed to complete this programme (noncompleters).

########################

"Thirty-one of the treatment completers provided complete data for the 84 days of treatment. Of the 83 participants who did not complete treatment, 54 (65%) were successfully tracked and interviewed 12 weeks after they were randomized."
