- Abstract
Identification of potential drug safety problems using statistical screening algorithms in routinely collected databases of adverse drug reactions (ADRs) requires decision rules based on thresholds of the chosen parameters. Choosing higher or lower thresholds changes both the sensitivity of the screening and the number of false alarms produced, and thus has an impact on the effectiveness of the detection process.
