Definition
In a hierarchical medical dictionary, for example MedDRA, the included term is the lowest level of dictionary term to which the investigator description is coded. The preferred term is the level of grouping of included terms typically used in reporting frequency of occurrence. For example, the investigator text “Pain in the left arm” might be coded to the included term “Joint pain”, which is reported at the preferred term level as “Arthralgia”.
