Abstract

The evaluation of adverse drug reactions in clinical practice is somewhat arbitrary and is characterized by considerable differences of opinion. This report presents a decision table algorithm approach toward the development of an operational system for the identification of adverse drug reactions. The algorithm incorporates an estimate of the certainty of the link between the untoward clinical event and the suspect drug, and examines the underlying causes of the identified drug reactions. Use of such a system is a first step toward reducing ambiguity in the evaluation of adverse drug reactions.
