Implied ADR-Admissions: A Cohort Study Introducing a Novel Administrative Data Approach for Identifying Drug-Related Hospitalisations
The implied ADR-admission approach has improved specificity relative to broad adverse event definitions while enhancing sensitivity beyond methods that rely solely on explicit ADR codes or pre-specified medication errors. It offers a scalable automated tool for pharmacovigilance, though further validation is needed prior to routine use in medication safety monitoring.
