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.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
