While doing AE Listings, there exists some confusion as these words (AETERM & Preferred TERM) sound similar. Every time I annotate AE Listing, I map “–TERM Variable for Preferred Term” and “–DECOD Variable for Verbatim Name” which is exclusively wrong. I have posted it here just to remind myself "AETERM (i.e., reported term) is Verbatim Name" and "AEDECOD is Preferred Term". Listed below is the CDISC Guidelines for Variables:
Define Variables and CDISC Guidelines:
System Organ Class (SOC) / --BODSYS:
It is the Body System or preferred system organ class that is involved in an event or measurement from the standard hierarchy.
Preferred Term (PT) / --DECOD:
It is the Dictionary derived text description of the topic variable. Equivalent to the Preferred Term (PT in MedDRA). The dictionary name and version should be provided in the comments column in the data definition file.
--TERM:
It is the Topic variable for an event observation, which is the Verbatim Name of the event. Use --MODIFY for modifying the verbatim term and --DECOD for coding --MODIFY or --TERM.
--MODIFY:
It is the Modified Text, if the topic variable is modified as part of a defined procedure.
An Eg. of MedDRA Hierarchy
System Organ Class (SOC) : Gastrointerstinal Disorders
High Level Group Term (HLGT): Dental and Gingival conditions
High Level Term (HLT): Dental pian and sensation disorders
Preferred Term (PT): Toothache <=SSC or SMQ
Lowest Level Term (LLT): Toothache
