Detecting potential signals of adverse drug events from prescription data

作者:

Highlights:

• Detecting Adverse drug events purely from prescription data containing no additional information.

• Adapting the case-crossover study to extract samples from constructed case and control time windows.

• Using a logistic regression model to automatically evaluate multiple medicines and select the medicines with the most significant associations with the ADE via Lasso regularisation.

• Proposing improvements to take temporal effect, frequency of prescription and individual effect into account.

• As a complement to other signal detection methods for ADEs, our work can potentially strengthen global pharmacosurveillance.
