Viewing age group breakdown for a drug-event combination

The breakdown of case data by age group for a drug-event combination is represented in a bar graph. Data represented in the graph includes all available data up through the current time period and is for the designated signal set. You cannot view the age group breakdown if there is no value of N.

The x-axis of the bar graph represents the percent of the total number of cases with the drug-event combination. The y-axis represents each value of Age Group. For each value of Age Group, there are two bars that are differentiated by the color key below the graph. The bars represent the following:

If there are no cases including the drug-event combination for a particular age group, 0 appears instead of a bar. Cases with NULL values for an age group are represented by a bar for NULL values.

1.         On the Drug-Event Combinations page (or the Similar Combinations page), click the row menu (Row menu) for the combination, and then click View Age Group Breakdown.

The Breakdown by Age Group dialog box appears.

If there are multiple signal sets for which you can view an age group breakdown, the signal set is identified in the link name.
