Mining for Adverse Drug Events with Formal Concept Analysis
نویسندگان
چکیده
The pharmacovigilance databases consist of several case reports involving drugs and adverse events (AEs). Some methods are applied consistently to highlight all signals, i.e. all statistically significant associations between a drug and an AE. These methods are appropriate for verification of more complex relationships involving one or several drug(s) and AE(s) (e.g; syndromes or interactions) but do not address the identification of them. We propose a method for the extraction of these relationships based on Formal Concept Analysis (FCA) associated with disproportionality measures. This method identifies all sets of drugs and AEs which are potential signals, syndromes or interactions. Compared to a previous experience of disproportionality analysis without FCA, the addition of FCA was more efficient for identifying false positives related to concomitant drugs.

Adverse Drug Reaction Mining in Pharmacovigilance Data Using Formal Concept Analysis
In this paper we discuss the problem of extracting and evaluating associations between drugs and adverse effects in pharmacovigilance data. Approaches proposed by the medical informatics community for mining one drug one effect pairs perform an exhaustive search strategy that precludes from mining high-order associations. Some specificities of pharmacovigilance data prevent from applying patter...
متن کاملChoosing appropriate theories for understanding hospital reporting of adverse drug events, a theoretical domains framework approach
Adverse drug events (ADEs) may cause serious injuries including death. Spontaneous reporting of ADEs plays a great role in detection and prevention of them, however, underreporting always exists. Although several interventions have been utilized to solve this problem, they are mainly based on experience and the rationale for choosing them has no theoretical base. The vast variety of behavioral ...

متن کاملDiscovering associations between adverse drug events using pattern structures and ontologies
BACKGROUND Patient data, such as electronic health records or adverse event reporting systems, constitute an essential resource for studying Adverse Drug Events (ADEs). We explore an original approach to identify frequently associated ADEs in subgroups of patients. RESULTS Because ADEs have complex manifestations, we use formal concept analysis and its pattern structures, a mathematical frame...
متن کاملFormal Concept Analysis for Process Enhancement Based on a Pair of Perspectives
In this paper, we propose to use formal concept analysis for process enhancement, which is applied to enterprise processes, e.g., operations for patients in a hospital, repair of imperfect products in a company. Process enhancement, which is one of main goals of process mining, is to analyze a process recorded in an event log, and to improve its efficiency based on the analysis. Data formats of...
