NAME(S): NOTE(S): While often not reported as a separate observation, seriousness
codes are technically the result of assessing the subject and the adverse event they
are experiencing. The association to the AdverseEvent should theoretically be derivable
via the following path: AdverseEventSeriousness PerformedObservation [assess seriousness]
AssessedResultRelationship AdverseEvent. However, since this information is often
not available, AdverseEventSeriousness has been modeled as both a subclass of PerformedClinicalInterpretation
and as having an association directly to the AdverseEvent class.;
