About

Maintained by Nicholas GiangrecoFirst published 2023-01-133 releasesCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗

Caches and then connects to a 'sqlite' database containing half a million pediatric drug safety signals. The database is part of a family of resources catalogued at https://nsides.io. The database contains 17 tables where the description table provides a map between the fields the field's details. The database was created by Nicholas Giangreco during his PhD thesis which you can read in Giangreco (2022) doi:10.7916/d8-5d9b-6738. The observations are from the Food and Drug Administration's Adverse Event Reporting System. Generalized additive models estimated drug effects across child development stages for the occurrence of an adverse event when exposed to a drug compared to other drugs.
