Abstract
An algorithm has been developed to help pharmacists who monitor patients being admitted to hospital to evaluate identified adverse drug reactions (ADRs). The design features six operational axes, comprising four subdivisions, with a unique score assigned to each. The final total of the sum of the individual scores for the six axes provides a measure of the probability that a suspicious event is drug-related.Keywords
