PVmaps® is data mining technology underlying UBC’s safety products and services for spontaneous reporting system (SRS) data. UBC clients have access to PVmaps through our CLÆRITY® software for signal investigation. PVmaps detects drug/event combinations occurring at higher-than-expected frequencies in SRS data, and generates an intuitive, two-dimensional presentation of the data. Each PVmap is supported by a table of detailed statistical results for in-depth investigation.
Available PVmaps include:
- Drug-focused PVmap: What are the significant safety signals for a given drug?
- Trajectory PVmap: Has a safety signal become more significant over time?
- Event-focused PVmap: What drugs are most highly associated with a specific adverse event?
- Potential Interactions PVmap: What other drugs are co-prescribed frequently when a drug / adverse event combination of interest occurs?
- Comparative PVmap: How do the safety profiles of two similar drugs compare?
- Potential Syndromes PVmap: What other events occur frequently when a drug / adverse event combination of interest occurs?
- Related Events PVmap: What other events frequently occur at the same time as an event of interest?
- Co-prescribed Drugs PVmap: What other drugs are highly co-prescribed with a given drug?
