Application of Association Rules Analysis in Mining Adverse Drug Reaction Signals

Adverse drug reactions (ADRs) are increasingly becoming a serious public health problem. Spontaneous reporting systems (SRSs) are an important way for many countries to monitor ADRs produced in the clinical use of drugs, and they are the main data source for ADR signal detection. The traditional sig...

description Adverse drug reactions (ADRs) are increasingly becoming a serious public health problem. Spontaneous reporting systems (SRSs) are an important way for many countries to monitor ADRs produced in the clinical use of drugs, and they are the main data source for ADR signal detection. The traditional signal detection methods are based on disproportionality analysis (DPA) and lack the application of data mining technology. In this paper, we selected the spontaneous reports from 2011 to 2018 in Jiangsu Province of China as the research data and used association rules analysis (ARA) to mine signals.
