Detecting adverse drug reactions for the drug Simvastatin

preprint2014arXivOpen access

Abstract

Adverse drug reactions (ADR) are widely concerning for public health issue. In this study we propose an original approach to detect ADRs using a feature matrix and feature selection. The experiments are carried out on the drug Simvastatin. Major side effects for the drug are detected and better performance is achieved compared to other computerized methods. Because currently the detected ADRs are based solely on computerized methods, further expert investigation is needed.
