INTRODUCTION: The Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) has already been challenged by an extreme increase in the number of individual case safety reports (ICSRs) after the market introduction of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccines....
INTRODUCTION: Time- and resource-demanding activities related to processing individual case safety reports (ICSRs) include manual procedures to evaluate individual causality with the final goal of dismissing false-positive safety signals. Eminent exp...
Despite increasing mechanistic understanding, undetected and underrecognized drug-drug interactions (DDIs) persist. This elusiveness relates to an interwoven complexity of increasing polypharmacy, multiplex mechanistic pathways, and human biological ...

INTRODUCTION: Detecting safety signals attributed to a drug in scientific literature is a fundamental issue in pharmacovigilance. The constant increase in the volume of publications requires the automation of this tedious task, in order to find and e...
The detection of adverse drug reactions (ADRs) is critical to our understanding of the safety and risk-benefit profile of medications. With an incidence that has not changed over the last 30 years, ADRs are a significant source of patient morbidity, ...
BACKGROUND: The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) collects and retains several data sets on post-market drugs and associated adverse events (AEs). The FDA Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS) contains millions of AE reports submitted by the pub...
BACKGROUND: Vaccine safety surveillance is important because it is related to vaccine hesitancy, which affects vaccination rate. To increase confidence in vaccination, the active monitoring of vaccine adverse events is important. For effective active...
