Causality assessment of adverse reactions to drugs--II. An original model for validation of drug causality assessment methods: case reports with positive rechallenge.

TL;DR: It is concluded that adverse drug reaction reports with a positive rechallenge can provide a standard for validation of causality assessment methods, and RUCAM applied to drug-induced liver injuries has been validated.

An Algorithm for the Operational Assessment of Adverse Drug Reactions: I. Background, Description, and Instructions for Use

TL;DR: An algorithm is developed that provides detailed operational criteria for ranking the probability of causation when ADR is suspected between a drug and a clinical manifestation.

Toward the operational identification of adverse drug reactions.

TL;DR: A decision table algorithm approach is presented toward the development of an operational system for the identification of adverse drug reactions that incorporates an estimate of the certainty of the link between the untoward clinical event and the suspect drug, and examines the underlying causes of the identified drug reactions.

Assessing methods for causality assessment of suspected adverse drug reactions

TL;DR: Six alternative criteria are described that attempt to address a potential user's main concerns--the need to know whether to believe the results in general and in a particular case and focus on the internal structure of a method rather than its output.
