Medical - Medical (general) / AE reporting
French term or phrase: comparatif
Good evening,

I'm wondering how to translate "comparatif" in this context.

I am translating an AE report from Montreal. Here is the specific context:

Est-ce que l'effet indésirable était connu avant l'étude? (Oui/Non)
Quelle est la récurrence? (< 1 fois par année/1 fois par année/2-3 fois par année/4-5 fois par année
Quel est le comparatif? (Amélioration/Pareille/Détérioration)

I'm thinking "recurrence rate" for "récurrence," but I'm not sure what I need for "le comparatif."

Thanks for your help!
