“…To be validated and recorded in the national ADR reporting database, every ADR report submitted to NDIADRMC had to be recorded on an official ADR form including the following essential information: patient's characteristic, suspected drugs, description of the ADR and the reporter's details . All ADR reports were then reviewed, and causality was assessed (using the World Health Organization‐Uppsala Monitoring Centre Causality Assessment) by trained NDIADRMC personnel and/or one or two members of the Technical Expert Committee, depending on the severity of the ADR . ADR terminology in every ADR report was classified according to World Health Organization Adverse Reaction Terminology (WHO‐ART), and the suspected drugs were categorized according to the ATC classification.…”
