A METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR ANALYZING DRUG ADVERSE EFFECTS

摘要

The system of the present invention for assessing and analyzing the risks of adverse effects resulting from the use of at least one substance of interest, comprises a selector for identifying at least one substance of interest; a profiler for selecting from multiple profiles related to the safety of the at least one substance of interest, using at least one filter; at least one data mining engine; and an output device for displaying the analytic results from the data mining engine. Preferably, the at lesat one data mining engine is selected from (1) a proportional analysis engine to assess deviations in a set of the reactions to the drug of interest; (2) a comparator to measure the reactions to the drug of interest against a user-defined backdrop, and (3) a correlator to look for correlated signal characteristics in drug/reaction/demographic information; and an output device whereby a user can receive analytic results from the selector, the proportional analysis engine, the comparator, and the correlator.
