Expectedness

In Safety & pharmacovigilance

Expectedness is the judgment of whether an adverse reaction is already described in the product's reference safety information. If the nature, severity, or frequency is not consistent with what is documented, the reaction is unexpected. This judgment is what turns a serious adverse reaction into a SUSAR.
