A key aim of UNICOM is to improve the processing and analysis of individual case safety reports (ICSRs) that describe adverse drug reactions (ADRs). To achieve this, the organisation has released the working paper titled “IDMP Coding Principles and Guidance for ICSRs“.
This paper provides recommendations for practical IDMP implementation, such as PhPID generation, and for handling drug information in general, including grouping concepts and the use of name parts. These guidelines aim to improve ICSR data management and pharmacovigilance analysis.
