Figure 1: SPL-ADR-200db sources and curation process.
From: A dataset of 200 structured product labels annotated for adverse drug reactions
The process consists of the following steps: 1) selecting the 200 most recently approved drugs 2) downloading the SPLs, 3) extracting the drug label sections designated to report ADRs, 4) annotating the extracted label sections, 5) extracting the distinct annotated ADRs and mapping these ADRs to the UMLS Metathesaurus and MedDRA, 6) quality assurance of the annotations and the mappings, and 7) generating the annotated dataset and the database of distinct labelled ADRs by SPL section.
