What Does SAE Stand For?

SAE stands for Serious Adverse Event

SAE, or Serious Adverse Event, refers to any undesirable experience associated with the use of a medical product or intervention that results in significant consequences. This typically includes events that lead to death, hospitalization, disability, or other serious health outcomes. Monitoring and reporting SAEs is crucial in clinical research and pharmacovigilance to ensure patient safety and evaluate the risk-benefit profile of medical products.
