A form of selection bias where undue focus is placed on those who made a through a selection vs. those that did not.
A classic (counter)example is from WWII with Abraham Wald proposed reinforcing areas on bombers where the least damage was recorded on returning bombers. The theory was that those who were unable to return with damage in those areas were the data points on which to base reinforcing.
