Last updated on JULY 13, 2023

Symptoms

Issue:
In Argus, if the Patient tab death information is unrelated to the reported reaction(s) on the Events tab, then the seriousness criterion in the data element A.1.5.2 (SERIOUSNESSDEATH) should not be flagged as '1'  (results in death).

Background:
According to the updated EudraVigilance business rules for processing and validating ICSR messages document under Appendix C: Business Rules (Complete list) Note 9. SERIOUSNESSDEATH and REACTIONOUTCOME we have the following statement:

“If the death is unrelated to the reported reaction(s), only the section patientdeath (ICH E2B(R2) B.1.9) should be completed. The outcome of the reaction(s) reported in the data element reactionoutcome (ICH E2B(R2) B.2.i.8) should not be ‘fatal’ and the seriousness criterion in the data element (ICH E2B(R2) A.1.5.2) should not be flagged as ‘results in death’.”
