Out of the above five, two widely used medical coding dictionaries used for coding medical terms generated in clinical trials are MedDRA and WHO-DDE. To maintain uniformity in reporting a term is next to impossible in any given clinical trial. However for a coder it is a challenging task to ensure that the term recorded/reported on data collection instrument (CRF/eCRF) is coded appropriately.
