Data quality

The data displayed on this website through the web reports and other data outputs are submitted electronically to EudraVigilance Veterinary by medicines regulatory authorities and by marketing authorisation holders (pharmaceutical companies) in the EEA. The Agency has limited control over the completeness or accuracy of the information available.

The information in EudraVigilance Veterinary evolves on a daily basis, and the number of individual cases may increase or decrease. It is therefore possible that the information published on this website through the web reports may change over time.

A decrease in the number of individual cases displayed in a web report may happen for the following reasons:

  • a follow-up report of an existing individual case is received where the reported veterinary medicine, the reported substance or the reported suspected adverse event is modified by the reporter, based on new information;
  • an individual adverse event report is submitted by more than one primary reporter (e.g. by an animal owner, as well as by a veterinarian) or to more than one organisation (pharmaceutical companies and national medicines regulatory authority); during quality review, these duplicate reports can be identified and are combined into a single report;
  • an individual adverse event report is nullified (removed) at the sender's request, usually due to the report being erroneous

Please note: On 7 November 2024, a data update was implemented to harmonise the "Outcome" field description between the EudraVigilance Veterinary Data Warehouse platform and the website www.adrreports.eu/vet. As a result, cases downloaded prior to this date may display outcome information that differs from the current version of the same case. Users are advised to exercise caution when comparing data retrieved before and after this data update.
