FAIRsharing record for: Medical Dictionary for Regulatory Activities Terminology

This FAIRsharing record describes: MedDRA is a multilingual terminology allowing most users to operate in their native languages. MedDRA can be used to analyse individual medical events (e.g., “Influenza”) or issues involving a system, organ or etiology (e.g., infections) using its hierarchical structure. MedDRA can be used for signal detection and monitoring of clinical syndromes whose symptoms encompass numerous systems or organs using its multi-axial hierarchy or through the special feature of Standardised MedDRA Queries. The ability to communicate adverse event data is another strength of MedDRA and has lead to MedDRA being an integral part of the ICH e-submission standards: eCTD (ICH M8) and ICSRs (ICH E2B).
