For each drug-event combination, you can review a summary of statistics presented in a trend graph and a histogram.
The trend graph is a confidence interval graph in which the x-axis represents dates and the y-axis represents EBGM values for the drug-event combination. In the line for each time period:
The histogram that appears below the trend graph shows reporting frequency for the drug-event combination. The x-axis represents dates and the y-axis represents counts of cases that contain the drug-event combination.
The statistical score that might appear for each drug-event combination includes the following rows:
Field |
Description |
EB05 |
A value such that there is approximately a 5% probability that the true Relative Ratio lies below it. The interval from EB05 to EB95 might be considered to be the 90% confidence interval. |
EB95 |
A value such that there is approximately a 5% probability that the true Relative Ratio lies above it. The interval from EB05 to EB95 might be considered to be the 90% confidence interval. |
EBGM |
Empirical Bayesian Geometric Mean. A more stable estimate than RR; the so-called shrinkage estimate, computed as the geometric mean of the posterior distribution of the true Relative Ratio. For more information, see MGPS computations. |
N |
Observed number of cases with the combination of items. |
PRR |
Proportional Reporting Ratio for the combination of a particular drug and particular event. |
PRR_CHISQ |
Chi-square of PRR. For more information, see PRR computations. |
ROR05 |
Lower 5% confidence limit for ROR. |
ROR95 |
Upper 5% confidence limit for ROR. The interval from ROR05 to ROR95 might be considered to be the 90% confidence interval. |
ROR |
Reporting Odds Ratio. Computed as: |
The review information for the drug-event combination includes the following columns:
