HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVE 2000 b.C. – HAMMURABI CODE: “The Doctor who causes death should loose his hands” 500 b.C. – HIPÓCRATES: “Primum non nocere” 200 – GALENO: “Drugs have a main action and a secondary action”
PERSPECTIVA HISTÓRICA … 1937 – Sulfanilamide in Dietilenoglicol /Renal Impairment 1961 – Thalidomide / Phocomelia - 10 000 Victims 1971 – Dietilstilbestrol / Vaginal Carcinoma in the daughters, 10 to 20 years after exposition

ADVERSE DRUG REACTION “a response to a drug which is noxious and unintended, and which occurs at dose normally used in humans for the prophylaxis, diagnosis or therapy of disease, or for a modification of physiological function.” W.H.O 1972
EPIDEMIOLOGY OFADVERSE DRUG REACTIONS 4th to 6th cause of death in U.S.A. ,1994 5% of Hospital Admissions 11% of Hospital Patients Doubles costs, length of stay and mortality risk 50% are potentially preventable Less than 1% are reported Adverse Effects Medication Error (Preventable) Preventable ADRs ADRs not Preventable Quality Problems

RESULTS • Agreement between algorithms and GI was 43% in average • 100% agreement was not found for any algorithm • None of the adverse events was equally imputed by all the algorithms • Sensitivity 93% and Specificity 7% in average
CONCLUSIONS A reference method was not identified Decisional algorithms are not definite alternatives in the individual causality assessment of adverse drug reactions.
