Leveraging MEDLINE indexing for pharmacovigilance - Inherent limitations and mitigation strategies

Journal of Biomedical Informatics
Rainer WinnenburgOlivier Bodenreider

Abstract

Traditional approaches to pharmacovigilance center on the signal detection from spontaneous reports, e.g., the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) adverse event reporting system (FAERS). In order to enrich the scientific evidence and enhance the detection of emerging adverse drug events that can lead to unintended harmful outcomes, pharmacovigilance activities need to evolve to encompass novel complementary data streams, for example the biomedical literature available through MEDLINE. (1) To review how the characteristics of MEDLINE indexing influence the identification of adverse drug events (ADEs); (2) to leverage this knowledge to inform the design of a system for extracting ADEs from MEDLINE indexing; and (3) to assess the specific contribution of some characteristics of MEDLINE indexing to the performance of this system. We analyze the characteristics of MEDLINE indexing. We integrate three specific characteristics into the design of a system for extracting ADEs from MEDLINE indexing. We experimentally assess the specific contribution of these characteristics over a baseline system based on co-occurrence between drug descriptors qualified by adverse effects and disease descriptors qualified by chemically induced. Our s...Continue Reading
