An updated method improved the assessment of adverse drug reaction in routine pharmacovigilance.

TL;DR: The updated logistic causality assessment method presented here improves the initial version that had poor specificity and tended to overestimate drug causation and presents satisfactory characteristics to be used in routine pharmacovigilance.

Drug‐induced liver injury with skin reactions: Drugs and host risk factors, clinical phenotypes and prognosis

TL;DR: The characteristics of liver involvement in patients with severe cutaneous adverse reaction are discussed and it is likely that the delayed immune‐mediated reaction triggering skin reaction is also responsible for hepatitis.

Fatal Acute Hepatitis After Sequential Treatment With Levofloxacin, Doxycycline, and Naproxen in a Patient Presenting With Acute Mycoplasma pneumoniae Infection

TL;DR: A case of lethal hepatitis possibly/probably associated with levofloxacin, doxy-cycline, and naproxen in a patient with acute M pneumoniae infection is reported.

Hepatitis E masquerading as drug‐induced liver injury

TL;DR: The patient presented below gives the opportunity to discuss challenges in the diagnosis of drug‐induced liver injury in an era of increasing awareness of hepatitis E.

Toxicidad hepática recurrente secundaria a metilprednisolona intravenosa

TL;DR: The case of a middle-aged woman with multiple scle rosis who received a bolus of methylprednisolone on three occasions for the management of relapsing disease, with the development of repeated episodes of elevated liver enzymes after corticoid administration is reported.

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.
