An event is defined as 'serious' when it meets one of the pre-defined outcomes described below: results in death, is life-threatening, requires hospitalisation or prolongation of existing hospitalisation; results in disability/incapacity, or is a congenital anomaly/birth defect in the offspring of a study subject.
Medical or scientific judgement should be exercised in deciding whether reporting is appropriate in other situations, such as important medical events that may not be immediately life-threatening or result in death or hospitalisation but may jeopardize the subject or may require medical or surgical intervention to prevent one of the other outcomes listed in the above definition. These should also be considered serious.
