Reviewing case details

When viewing a case series from the Case Series page, you can click a case ID to view case details. The Case Details dialog box provides information about the case, presented as a set of tables showing source data for the case. On this dialog box, if site option Allow Case Comment/Review/Exclusion is enabled, you can indicate that you have reviewed the case details and provide a comment.

At a minimum, the Case Details page typically includes the following information:

• Case Information (demographic information).
• Reported Drugs/Vaccines.
• Reported Events/Symptoms.

Additional information includes reported outcomes, case report sources, narrative text, and so on.

If specified by the configuration, a description of the source data appears below the case details. For example: Source Data: AERS data as of 4th quarter 2009 from NTIS Public Release loaded on 2010-04-18.
