Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis
UMLS: C0002736
Basic Information
Severity Level:
Critical
Definition:
A degenerative disorder affecting upper MOTOR NEURONS in the brain and lower motor neurons in the brain stem and SPINAL CORD. Disease onset is usually after the age of 50 and the process is usually fatal within 3 to 6 years. Clinical manifestations include progressive weakness, atrophy, FASCICULATION, hyperreflexia, DYSARTHRIA, dysphagia, and eventual paralysis of respiratory function. Pathologic features include the replacement of motor neurons with fibrous ASTROCYTES and atrophy of anterior SPINAL NERVE ROOTS and corticospinal tracts.

The Introduction of Drug-AE Confidence Score Grade
| Priority Level | Score Range | Description | Evidence Characteristics |
|---|---|---|---|
| High | Score ≥ 6.67High-priority associations requiring immediate attention. | Strong evidence across multiple dimensions with high statistical significance, robust association measures, and substantial case numbers. Warrant priority pharmacovigilance action. | High P-value scores (significant Adjust-P), Strong ROR/PRR values, Substantial case numbers, Complete dimensional coverage, Minimal data filtering needed. |
| Medium | 3.33 ≤ Score < 6.67Medium-priority associations requiring careful evaluation. | Moderate evidence quality with acceptable statistical significance and association strength. May need additional validation or monitoring before definitive action. | Moderate P-value significance, Reasonable ROR/PRR measures, Adequate case numbers, Partial dimensional coverage, Some data quality considerations. |
| Low | Score < 3.33Low-priority associations with limited evidence strength. | May represent weak signals, insufficient data, or associations requiring extensive additional investigation before any regulatory or clinical consideration. | Weak P-value significance, Low association measures, Limited case numbers, Incomplete dimensional data, Significant data filtering applied. |
The Introduction of Drug-AE Severity Score Grade
| Severity Level | Score Range | Description | Typical outcomes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Minimal | 0 ≤ Score ≤ 0.387 Low severity ADRs requiring minimal intervention. | Events that need medical attention to prevent permanent damage but without hospitalization or life-threatening consequences. | Primarily RI (Required Intervention) outcomes, Outpatient management, Preventive measures, Early intervention prevents escalation. |
| Mild | 0.387 < Score ≤ 0.861 Mild severity events requiring hospitalization. | Mix of intervention-required and hospitalization cases with manageable clinical outcomes and good recovery potential. | Mix of RI and HO outcomes, Initial or prolonged hospitalization, Active medical management, Generally favorable prognosis. |
| Moderate | 0.861 < Score ≤ 1.500 Moderate ADRs resulting in permanent disability. | Higher proportion of hospitalization and disability cases requiring intensive medical management and long-term care planning. | Increased HO and DS outcomes, Permanent disability, Extended hospitalization, Rehabilitation required, Long-term functional impairment. |
| Severe | 1.500 < Score ≤ 2.52High severity life-threatening events with significant morbidity. | Notable presence of disability and life-threatening outcomes requiring emergency intervention and intensive care management. | Prominent DS and LT outcomes, Life-threatening events, Emergency intervention required, ICU admission, High risk of permanent consequences. | Critical | 2.524 < Score ≤ 5.000Critical life-threatening or fatal ADRs with maximum clinical impact. | High proportion of life-threatening events and deaths with very strong drug-event associations requiring immediate regulatory action. | Significant LT and DE outcomes, Fatal events, Emergency life-support measures, Immediate drug discontinuation, Regulatory safety alerts. |
The Introduction of Drug-AE-Protein Confidence Score Grade
| Confidence Level | Relationships | Description | Evidence Types |
|---|---|---|---|
| Known/Valid | Direct DTA relationships | The drug-ADE, drug-target, and target-ADE associations are all derived from the same literature source. | Experimental validation, Clinical evidence |
| High | DT + TA + DA | Two of the three associations (drug-ADE, drug-target, and target-ADE) are derived from the same literature source, while the third is validated by other literature. | Multiple corroborating sources |
| Medium | DT + TA + DA | Two of the three associations (drug-ADE, drug-target, and target-ADE) are validated by separate literature sources. | Partial evidence chain |
| Low | TA + DT | Only target-ADE and drug-target associations are validated by literature sources. | Associative evidence only |
