German term (edited):
unerwuenschte Ereignisse
unwanted occurrences
"unwanted" is not the same as "adverse", especially in the context of a survey. I might change "occurrences" to "incidents" or some other synonym, based on the context of the piece from which this is excerpted.
Example sentence:
I would like to call your attention to one aspect of this: we are obligated to report to the contracting pharmaceutical company any unwanted occurrences . . .

Steffen Walter
: That's just not the established term in the med/pharma field - "adverse events" (Harald's answer) is correct.

Harald and Steffen are correct. I withdraw my suggestion (guess I should stick to my own field).

: Except that we're dealing with a dead-serious topic here (in the literal sense of the word). / It does - the established term is "adverse events".

Hi Martina,
I worked in a company conducting medical trials and just tanslated a couple of internal documents from a well known pharmaceutical company from English into German, adverse event is the standard term; and your sentence in general seems just fine to me.

undesirable event
This is the terminology which is in line with the GEPO.
A client operating in Germany and Switzerland supplied me with this dictionary, and for Europe, this is the valid terminology in line with requirements of their version of the FDA.
Please check out the link below for confirmation and for a valuable terminology resource for this type of translation.

: Both the EMA and Swissmedic (the two regulatory agencies in charge of the EU and Switzerland respectively) only use the term "adverse events". I've never seen "undesirable" used myself, but I guess it happens. Looks odd to me, though.

http://www.ema.europa.eu/docs/en_GB/document_library/Scienti... is an example from an ICH doc. Both adverse and undesirable seem to be used by the EMA

inopportune
in the sense of 'ill-timed' ('unangebracht'), not necessarily 'abträglich' (adverse) is the meaning here. What's 'unerwünscht' at a given time could be 'erwünscht' at some other.

Cilian O'Tuama
: quite possible in other context, but here "adverse" is the word, also in SAEs (serious adverse events), ADRs (adverse drug reactions)...
