Background
Adverse drug reactions (ADRs) are an important concern in the medication process and can pose a substantial economic burden for patients and hospitals. Because of the limitations of clinical trials, it is difficult to identify all possible ADRs of a drug before it is marketed. We developed a new model based on data mining technology to predict potential ADRs based on available drug data.
Method
Based on the Word2Vec model in Nature Language Processing, we propose a new knowledge graph embedding method that embeds drugs and ADRs into their respective vectors and builds a logistic regression classification model to predict whether a given drug will have ADRs.
Result
First, a new knowledge graph embedding method was proposed, and comparison with similar studies showed that our model not only had high prediction accuracy but also was simpler in model structure. In our experiments, the AUC of the classification model reached a maximum of 0.87, and the mean AUC was 0.863.
Conclusion
In this paper, we introduce a new method to embed knowledge graph to vectorize drugs and ADRs, then use a logistic regression classification model to predict whether there is a causal relationship between them. The experiment showed that the use of knowledge graph embedding can effectively encode drugs and ADRs. And the proposed ADRs prediction system is also very effective.
Objective: The study objective was to compare the onset of platelet inhibition (inhibition of platelet aggregation) between ticagrelor 90 mg twice per day and clopidogrel 75 mg once per day in patients receiving coronary artery bypass grafting.Methods: In a single-center, randomized, open-label study, 140 patients receiving coronary artery bypass grafting were randomly assigned to the aspirin þ ticagrelor group or the aspirin þ clopidogrel group in a 1:1 ratio. Participants in the aspirin þ ticagrelor group took aspirin 100 mg once per day and ticagrelor 90 mg twice per day. Participants in the aspirin þ clopidogrel group took aspirin 100 mg once per day and clopidogrel 75 mg once per day. Platelet function was determined before study treatment (0 hours); at 2 hours, 8 hours, 24 hours, and 72 hours after medication; and during follow-up at 30 days after surgery.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
