adverse events

[GoogleCodeExporter]

The Vaccine ontology tries to represent adverse events. I believe OGMS should 
include definitions 
for adverse events in a general sense, and possibly in legal senses as defined 
by various influential 
health authorities such as the FDA.

The below links to some definitions used in the regulations

http://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfcfr/CFRSearch.cfm?fr=314.80
  Adverse drug experience
  Disability
  Life-threatening adverse drug experience
  Serious adverse drug experience
  Unexpected adverse drug experience

COSTART (now defunct, replaced by proprietary MedDRA) was a terminology for 
adverse events. You can see the 
term list by going to 
http://hedwig.mgh.harvard.edu/biostatistics/files/costart.html and clicking on 
"Show all 
terms"

There's also Werner's paper: <a

RSION.pdf>Introducing
Realist Ontology for the
Representation of Adverse Events</a> 

In it, he argues that the common usage of the term 'adverse event' refers to a
defined class and not a universal.

With a follow up here: http://www.referent-tracking.com/RTU/sendfile/?
file=CeustersMIE2009paper.pdf

We give there an analysis of the ReMINE definition for adverse agent which I am 
not in 
favor of, but if people want it that way, so be it. The paper shows that even 
with such 
definitions, an ontological adequate interpretation can be given.
