TLDR
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.

Causality assessment of adverse reactions to drugs--I. A novel method based on the conclusions of international consensus meetings: application to drug-induced liver injuries.

TL;DR: In this paper, a new method for drug causality assessment is described and applied to reports of acute liver injuries, using reports with positive rechallenge as external standard.

Drug-Related Hepatotoxicity

TL;DR: Clinical guidance is provided with regard to the detection, evaluation, and possible prevention of drug-related hepatotoxicity in patients exposed to hepatotoxic effects of new medication.
Journal Article

Drug-induced hepatotoxicity.

TL;DR: The influence of older age in the cholestatic/mixed expression of the liver injury, as well as the independent association of female gender, older age, aspartate aminotransferase levels/hepatocellular type of damage and high bilirubin levels with the risk of fulminant liver failure/death are underlined.

An algorithm for the operational assessment of adverse drug reactions. II. Demonstration of reproducibility and validity.

TL;DR: The ADR algorithm appears to provide a reproducible and valid method of evaluating the likelihood of ADRs in individual patients and its use can help improve the diagnostic and epidemiologic approach to these important, complex clinical phenomena.

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.
