摘要

Nowadays, detecting Adverse Drug Reactions (ADRs) from texts is crucial for pharmacovigilance. The publicly available resources for this task include social media and other relevant sources. Moreover, social media data can reflect the reactions of drug users and update quickly. For this reason, the objective is to leverage artificial intelligence techniques to extract pertinent information from this platform, to identify ADRs that could avert fatalities and hospitalizations. This study investigated the automated detection of ADRs in patients by employing supervised machine learning classifiers, including LinearSVC, Complement Naive Bayes, XGBoost, and AdaBoost. These classifiers were applied to a combination of drug-related comments extracted from tweets and drug reviews in the PsyTAR (Psychiatric Treatment Adverse Reactions) dataset. Experimental results derived from the fusion dataset indicated that the evaluation of individual supervised machine learning models achieved an F1-score of 85.38%, an Accuracy of 92.10%, and an ROC–AUC of 96.98%, thereby demonstrating their effectiveness in ADRs detection. This finding could promote active (real-time) ADR surveillance and advance pharmacovigilance research. Specifically, ADRs detection plays a crucial role in understanding the safety and benefit profiles of medicines for physicians and mental healthcare professionals.
