Meanings of emetic episodes in English

Thirty-six percent of patients had no emesis, and 58% had two or fewer emetic episodes.

Efficacy measurements included the number of emetic episodes, need for rescue medication, and patient assessments of nausea and appetite.

The number of emetic episodes, assessment of nausea and appetite, and adverse events were recorded throughout the 2-day study period.

Patients were evaluated for emetic episodes, extent of nausea, and adverse events for 7 days after the start of chemotherapy.

Complete response (CR) was defined as no emetic episodes, rescue, or withdrawal; major response was defined as one or two episodes.

In comparison with abdominal surgery, fewer patients in the non-abdominal surgery subgroup had emetic episodes (42% vs. 23% in the placebo group).
