Top Treatment Response Patients

EasySQL · PostgreSQL

Problem

Dana-Farber Cancer Institute researchers need a ranked view of patients with the strongest treatment responses in a clinical trial. Write a PostgreSQL query that calculates each enrolled patient's average finalized response score and returns the top 10 patients.

Requirements

  1. Join patients with treatment_responses using patient_id.
  2. Include only patients whose enrollment_status is Enrolled, finalized assessments, and non-null response scores.
  3. Calculate the average response score and number of qualifying assessments per patient.
  4. Return the 10 highest average scores, breaking ties by the smaller patient_id.
