Bayesian adverse reaction diagnostic instrument (BARDI)

Bayesian based approach for assessing drug-induced illness; the goal is to calculate the posterior odds in favor of a particular drug being the cause of the adverse event; the posterior odds are calculated by considering 6 assessment subsets: “prior odds” as background epidemiological and clinical trials information, and 5 other dealing with case-specific information of possible differential diagnostic value (“likelihood ratios”); → see also adverse drug reaction, standardized assessment of causality (SAC).
