Abstract

Adverse drug reaction (ADR) may cost a lot of unnecessary medical resources and lead to extra suffering on patients. To provide the prompt information about ADR and avoid the rate of occurrence of ADR is an important task yet to be done. The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) provides an Adverse Event Reporting System (AERS) which contains a lot of clinical reports about ADRs. However, in many cases the biologists still do not know exactly how the observed events are actually caused by drug-drug interactions. We use the statistical hypothesis testing method based on scoring process to discover the associations between drugs and adverse drug events.
