German term

nicht berücksichtigt ist

German to English Medical Medical: Pharmaceuticals
In der vorliegenden Studie wurden auf diese Weise bei insgemamt 3,555 Patienten (22.2%) Angaben zu Nebenwirkungen gemacht, wobei die vom Prüfer vorgenommene Beurteiling des Kausalzusammenhanges nicht berücksichtigt ist.

"In this study and following this method, data on adverse effects for 3,555 patients (22.2%) were collected, whereby the assessment of the causal relationship by the investigator was not considered."

I am hesitating about "excluding" or "not taking into account"; not sure the meaning is clear in translation.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.

Just to point out that ... ... "wobei" almost never translates as "whereby"; it sounds like an "and" or a "but" in this case.

Thanks!
Before: Diese Vorgehensweise bringt eine vergleichsweise hohe Zahl der Nennungen.
After: Somit sind auch Angaben erfasst, die nach Meinung der Prüfer in fraglichem Zusammenhang mit [Produkt] standen.

I agree that berücksichtigen can be difficult to translate.
Could you give us some text from before and after this, please? On particular, it's not clear what "auf diese Weise" means.

was not takEN into account/ was excluded, but not taken into account would be my choice.

Seems like the most straightforward solution to me.

This is how you could translate the whole sentence:

"Under this study's methodology, responses about side effects have been collected from 3,555 patients (22.2%) but the examiner’s assessment of causal links has not been considered."
